WASHINGTON - U.S. Capitol Police on Thursday arrested the man who sneaked into George W. Bush's first inauguration and was photographed shaking his hand.
Hours before Bush took the oath of office for a second time, Richard Weaver was taken into custody on the Capitol's west front on an outstanding warrant, police spokesman Michael Lauer said.
The warrant involved the 2001 inauguration, when Weaver was photographed shaking Bush's hand and slipping him a coin and a note. Weaver pulled a similar stunt in 1997 at President Clinton (news - web sites)'s swearing-in.
Police arrested five people for protesting during Bush's inaugural speech, Lauer said. He had no additional information.

This guy's usual modus operandi is to show up to inaugurations dressed as a priest. He gets through security with a note written by God that is supposed to advise the incoming President to be good.
Strange? Yes, but at least now we know how W communicates with the almighty.
