You often hear about the stupid criminals who admit to smoking pot while being arrested or doing other stupid things, but you hardly ever hear about the smart ones.

Three armed robbers sought a presidential-sized distraction Wednesday morning, hitting three Davenport banks during downtown campaign stops by President Bush and U.S. Sen. John Kerry.

Of course, they didn't all get away with it, but still. Pretty smart to hit up the banks while both Presidential candidates were in town.
