FBI Investigates Scott Baio Death Threats After Crack About First Lady Michelle Obama
Happy Days hasbeen Scott Baio called the First Lady ugly — now he’s calling the FBI after he allegedly received a series of online threats and verbal ass-razzings from angry Tweeters.
Funny how the shoe’s always tighter on the other foot…..
Baio came under fire after he posted an unflattering picture of First Lady Michelle Obama on his Twitter.com page on Wednesday, along with a caption which read: “Wow. He (U.S. President Barack Obama) wakes up to this every morning.”
The post attracted a slew of negative comments and accusations of racism from his followers. Baio, for his part, insists his message was taken the wrong way.
“People need to relax and laugh a bit. Life is too short no matter what party you are with. A joke is just that, a joke,” he wrote.
“One bad picture of a woman & everyone wants to bash me?” the star of VH1′s Scott Baio….45 & Counting wrote. “If it had been of Palin ppl would have prob cheered. I am NOT making fun of any1.”
After the negative comments turned threatening, Baio informed his followers that he had contacted authorities over the nasty posts: “PLEASE NOTE: The FBI has been contacted & we have a file number for the threats, along with Twitter support. Thx (thanks).”
I’m not sure about the racism claims. After all, it is an unflattering photo of the otherwise beautiful Mrs. O. However, if you’re going to dish it out, you have to know how to take it. Does Scott really need to run crying to the Feds because he got roasted on Twitter?

She's so ugly that when my dog sat on a magazine cover she was put on with her pinched face that looks like she's snarling (the woman not my dog) I had to laugh because it was so appropriate for a dog's butt to be ontop of her face.
I'm sure my dog is a genius.

Talk about and say anything that you feel about Michelle Obama,but let it be known that she has a chapter in the history books.Michelle has a law degree,at the firm where she worked,her superiors brought a young man named Barack Obama for Michelle to mentor.Michelle is the only woman who mentored a man who first became a U.S. Senator, and then THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.This man loves his family and their relationship endures. You can't touch this!!
