"I'm voting for Obama!"

The FBI records show that some Ivins acquaintances shared with the FBI e-mail and instant message communications exchanged with the scientist. In a July 2008 e-mail, Ivins wrote that “Dick Cheney scares me. The Patriot Act is so unconstitutional it’s not even funny.” He added, “I’m voting for Obama!” A laboratory co-worker reported that Ivins hated the New York Yankees and thought New Yorkers were “elitist.” The bureau even memorialized Ivins’s e-mail musings about how “disgraceful” it was that soccer players frequently took “dives” while faking injuries.
