A man seen dressed as a ninja on the side of the road in Vernon, Conn., swinging nunchucks and yelling about wanting to beat up Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), was arrested Saturday and released to a local hospital for psychiatric evaluation.

According to the Hartford Courant, 30-year-old Garland Eastman became calm and cooperative once police pulled out their tasers and bean bags. He was charged with breach of peace.

We desperately need Democratic leadership to threaten Joey Leebs, but all we get is some crazy guy in a ninja outfit. Aw, MAN.
