I can't imagine why this jerk off would jeopardize his career like this.

Colonel accused of defacing cars bearing pro-Bush stickers

DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- An Air Force Reserve colonel could face criminal charges for allegedly vandalizing cars at Denver International Airport bearing pro-Bush bumper stickers.

Lt. Col. Alexis fecteau, director of operations for reserve forces at the National Security Space Institute in Colorado Springs, is believed responsible for defacing at least 10 parked vehicles between December and June, police spokesman Sonny Jackson said Tuesday.

A car left by a police detective as a bait was also defaced and the detective tracked down Fecteau, who turned himself in Friday. He was released on bond.

A message left for a man of the same name in Colorado Springs wasn't immediately returned.

Jackson said Fecteau is suspected of blacking out the Bush bumper stickers and then spray painting an expletive and the president's name on the vehicles.

Fecteau supervises 11 full-time and 30 part-time reservists at the institute, which is part of the Space Warfare Center at Schriever Air Force Base, said base spokesman Staff Sgt. Donald Branum.

The bait vehicle was equipped with a camera that captured an image of the suspect and his car. Then a detective was able to find footage from a camera monitoring cars leaving the parking lot and traced Fecteau using the car's license plate, Jackson said.

Police have referred the case to prosecutors, who are considering filing criminal charges, he said.

They arranged a sting for this penny-ante shit? Wow, the crime rate in Denver must be almost zero.

Still, yeah...what a dummy.
We were right about Vietnam. We were right about Nixon. We were right about Reaganomics. Trust us -- we're right about Bush, too.

Maybe they thought they were hot on the trail of Osama Bin Laden.

Apparently this 'jerk off' really hates Bush. (A sentiment that's not as rare in the military as you might wish, Matt).

Hell, half the country probably hates Bush. I'm sure he is the perceived cause for everything wrong in the world to some. I just think the Colonel was lame to keep vandalizing until he eventually got caught.

Ken Lay, the investor? Yes, it did. :wink:

Speaking of the vandalism aimed at republicans, all this reminds me of the incident involving slashing the tires of Republican get-out-the-vote vans in Milwaukee last year.

Tucker Carlson has an interesting definition of vandalism:

Breaking the law by slashing a some republicans' tires -- $1000

Raping the Constitution by getting the Secret Service to eject Democrats from Republican campaign stops -- priceless.

Believe me, I'm not defending Lay. That was a way shitty thing he did. Seems like comparing apples and oranges though.

Regarding the artsy-craftsy colonel, I wonder if anyone will sue the spray paint company?
