Secret Service Now Protecting Brangelina; President Bush "Just Not As Hot"
Friday September 15, 2006

The United States Secret Service arrested a man Thursday for allegedly impersonating a federal agent in an attempt to secure a job as a bodyguard for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, TMZ reports. Nelson Mercado, 46, allegedly lied to Brangelina's security team, Sunset Protective Services, saying that he was a special agent for the Department of Homeland Security, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in LA.

Mercado also stands accused of using phony credentials and a "fraudulently registered" Ford Crown Victoria with tinted windows and a police light package. If convicted, Mercado faces a maximum of three years in federal prison.

The Secret Service on Brangelina's detail? Well, that makes sense. Any couple this hot is totally worth taking the bullet for. And we already know Cheney can fend for himself.
