Reportedly just off a two-day drunken bender, Leeland Eisenberg taped highway flares to his waist with duct tape and took hostages at Hillary Clinton’s office in Rochester, New York, demanding to speak to the senator and even calling CNN in a five-hour standoff that drew national TV coverage.
Eisenberg, 47, a resident of Somersworth surrendered to SWAT police after an ordeal that began at 1 p.m.
CNN reports that five hostages including an infant were released unharmed.
Eisenberg’s frantic stepson, who begged police to let him “go tackle” his disturbed dad, told police early on that his stepfather was coming off a 48-hour drinking binge.
Eisenberg called CNN during the hostage standoff to vent his anger over the lack of proper mental health care. He finally surrendered to a SWAT team at about 6:15 p.m.
Terrill Walker, spokesman for the state Executive Office of Public Safety, confirmed to the Boston Herald that a Leeland Eisenberg was released from MCI-Concord on March 16, 2005, but would not say what the sentence was for citing criminal offender record laws. He served his full sentence, Walker said.
The Herald reports that while Eisenberg was in prison in Bridgewater, he filed a suit in September 2002 against the Archdiocese of Boston alleging he was molested in his early 20s by the Rev. Richard M. Buntel of St. Catherine’s Church in Westford. Buntel was removed from the ministry and underwent treatment for drug, alcohol and sexual abuse in 1994, only to be reinstated by Cardinal Bernard Law at a Wilmington parish in 1999.
Eisenberg reportedly told his stepson yesterday to watch the news. He also was scheduled to appear in a New Hampshire court yesterday to answer to a domestic violence complaint filed by his wife, who is seeking a divorce, the Foster’s Daily Democrat reported.
Speaking at the Sheraton Hotel in Portsmouth, N.H.,late last night, Clinton said she felt “bewilderment, outrage, and confusion” upon learning that some of her campaign workers had been taken hostage.
“These were my staff members and volunteers. It was, for me and my campaign, an especially tense and difficult day,” Clinton said. “We’re immensely relieved that this has ended peacefully.
“Eisenberg was someone that was not known to my campaign until he walked in the door today. I believe he was seeking help and came to my office because he thought he might get some sort of relief,” the senator said.

To all the 'boring/redundant' unimaginative DEMBHOLES - stop posting from your ma's/grandma's basements while mentally masturbating til' the blood stops as you choke yur little chickens' even tighter! or do you do it daisy-chain fashion with your BORG single-cell brains all functioning from a DEMBHOLE GROUP COMPLEX??? resistance is futile to HILLARY & D^CKHEAD BILL after all we've already endured 8 years of being held hostage - the better question is what will HILLARY do if she loses? take-off her '...asbestos pants-suits' and show everyone how 'UGLY' she actually is??? HILLARY the FEMALE FASCIST of all our worst nightmares!!! but then again they thought 'IL DUCE - BENITO MUSSOLINI' would be 'good-for-their-country' sure that there are just as many stupid easily duped people here - your posts prover there are!!!

Was this 'NUTTER' any more 'idiotic/unbalanced' than the DEMBHOLE 'SHILLS' showcased on the 'FARCE' that was called the REPUBLICANT DEBATE on CNN??? DEMBHOLES puporting to be REPUBLICANTS flown in by air from CALIFORNIA and elsewhere and CNN nor the 'evil' HILLARY or the other DEMBHOLE 'LIILIPUTIANS' knew nothing about this travesty??? Ah HILLARY not as smart not as articulate not as good-looking as 'IL DUCE - BENITO MUSSOLINI' but then “…asbestos” pants-suits hide a lot of 'UGLINESS'/CORRUPTION is being 'attacked' for her stupidity and malapropisms!!! The FEMALE FASCIST first made the mistake of 'taking' maximum size donations from CHINESE DISHWASHERS who couldn't be traced. Next it was getting ILLEGALS to receive DRIVERS LICENSES when she tried to play the old CLINTON 'shell game' of being on all sides of the issue depending whom she was 'speaking at'. Now it is not giving a 'tip' to some frowsy little waitress that HILLARY wanted to 'schmooze' at a photo op for HILLARY and her band of DEMBHOLE-DIMWITS and sycophants. The 'commoners' hate you HILLARY. GO AHEAD DRAG OUT YOUR PRETEND-HUSBAND BILL aka D*CKHEAD - this adds even less to your 'so-called' credibility with his lies, mechanations, outright flaunting of MS. STRONACH and his other 'BIMBETTES' which you 'helped dispose of over so many years. All hail the 'new' FEMALE FUHRER - HILLARY!!! HIELE HILLARY!!! Ha! What a pathetic joke who has never achieved anything but be elected a U.S. SENATURD by DEMBHOLE-DUMMIES in NY where HILLARY said she was a NYYankees fan! Ha! And all 3 million papers which HILLARY claims prove her competence are locked safely away by order of yes, her co-conspirator one D*CKHEAD BILL. HILLARY a lying FASCIST for our times. Now HILLARY says she is tired of the ‘mud-slinging’ from the Lilliputians at the DEMBHOLE ‘so-called’ DEBATE in VEGAS. The sobriquet ‘what happens in VEGAS stays in VEGAS’ held true as the ‘Nielsen ratings’ proved that no one watched or cared!!! No ‘mud-slinging’ eh HILLAY??? YOU MUST HAVE ‘SPACED-OUT’ ALL the ‘smears’ of D^CKHEAD BILL’s BIMBETTES and the other ‘enemies’ of your co-presidency. DEMBHOLES should be insulted that HILLARY is the #1 CHOICE FOR Fuhrer – for now. AND NOW THE ‘NUTTERS’ ARE OUT FOR HILLARY SOMEHOW FITTING THAT THE UNBALANCED ARE ‘SHOWCASING’ HILLARY!!! Ha!
