[Expletive] Bush

This is so not cool, because it was all too likely to happen the other way around before the last election, so I really don’t find it funny, but it’s definitely interesting, mainly because of who the culprit is:

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 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.
Fecteau turned himself in after getting busted on a hidden camera on a bait car. Allegedly, he’s been doing his little art projects since December. I’m curious as to his motives—is it just general irritation with the president, or specific to the war? Is he completely cracked, or just a frustrated soldier-turned-vandal? I’d love to hear his explanation, but something tells me we’re never gonna. The dude will probably be lucky if he doesn’t end up at Gitmo.

Unless, of course, he was trying to rally support for the president by making his dissenters look like psychos, which is always a possibility, too.
