Jack Bauer Rams Terrorist, Gets Probation

Jack Bauer's number could have been changed to a "10".

As in 'years in prison'.

A college student repeatedly rammed his car into another man's vehicle, yelling that the man was a terrorist and that he was Jack Bauer, the crack terror-fighting fed on the Fox TV show "24".

"My name is Jack Bowers (Bauer) and I work for the FBI and the Secret Service. My wife and family was kidnapped by the president and terrorist," Edgar Sullivan shouted, according to court documents.

Sullivan was given probation today when the "terrorist" whose car he rammed failed to show for any of the court dates. He faced up to 10 years in prison for second-degree assault for his Jack Bauer impression.

The Howard County State Attorney's Office speculated that Marlon Cantoral "may have been living illegally in the country," and that may have been the reason that he provided a fake address to police at the time of the ramming.

Or, he may have been a terrorist.



Sullivan made a good bid to be Kiefer Sutherland's replacement, should the "24" star need replacing.

He was driving a Ford Escape on I-95 a year ago when he struck Cantoral's van. The van left the highway and was rammed a second time as he tried to drive over the grass median strip.

Cantoral then fled on foot into the lobby of a correctional facility. Bauer...er..Sullivan followed him into the correctional facility and shouted "he's a terrorist and he kidnapped my family".

Officers contacted Sullivan's father who said his son was not married and the family was fine, authorities said. In court Thursday, Sullivan apologized for the incident, telling Howard County Circuit Judge Richard Bernhardt that he has been attending alcohol treatment and plans to graduate in May.

Sullivan, a student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County who pleaded guilty in September to drunken driving, smiled but did not speak as he left the courthouse with his parents.

So maybe Cantoral really was a terrorist.

But Sullivan wasn't really Jack Bauer.

Another career in law enforcement is snuffed out by the hard edge of reality.

Tancredo's Ad: It's Only Alarmist If It Never Happens

Another famous alarmist

Tom Tancredo's new ad has Eric Kleefield at TPM:New Tancredo Ad Depicts Fictional Terrorist Attack in disbelief: Tom Tancredo is a pandering political alarmist.

One has to wonder if the plot is taken from the hypothetical terror scenario described by Brit Hume at the first Fox News debate earlier this year, which involved terrorist attacks taking place at malls.

Tancredo may take comfort that he joins the company of a political figure, derided as an alarmist: Winston Churchill. Eric also forgets--or may be young to remember--another ad, this one involving a Democrat President, which actually depicted a mushroom cloud.

As TPM commenter, Jake D, pointed out, "You youngsters have never seen/heard of LBJ's "Daisy" ad?"

"Daisy" slipped Balloon Juice's John Cole's memory as well.

But apparently Cole, in The "24" Candidate, got so worked up after constructing a sentence with "Malkin" and "orgasm" in it, he called it a day.

Jihadists!
Open Borders!
Someone has to say it!

The sound you are hearing is the Malkin wing of the Republican party having a collective orgasm.

The short post abruptly ends, Cole having made his point that those who worry about terrorism and border security get their talking points watching from watching TV fiction.

More stories are coming from South and Central America of al-Qaida and other terror groups: raising money, building networks and planning future operations in the United States. It would seem natural to wonder where their point of entry might be.

Just last week, a few miles from Cole's state of West Virginia, police stopped a group of Central Americans for speeding. Inside their car, they found a treasure trove of blank documents ready for the user to sign: over 100 Tennessee driver's licenses, passports and social security cards.

The men refused to say where they were heading and were detained by authorities.

In John Cole's worldview, news such as this is a Republican aphrodisiac.

Tom Tancredo gives voice to the concern in the video below.


If the next terror attack in the U.S. is determined to have involved individuals crossing the southern border, what might Kleefeld and Cole's response be?

One wonders if in Cole's case, might it not be a sentence containing the words "Tancredo" and "Playboy".
