Wait, that’s not the narrative
Everyone told me it wasn’t the Taliban but it was the Talibubba.
Looks like a Pakistani has been arrested in relation to the failed car bombing in Times Square.
Update: In comments, Nylar notes that the guy used the car show loophole.

NYTimes Article makes an interesting read as the alleged bomber must have used some sort of Car Show Loop hole to buy the car.
Now why can’t they require background checks for all those who buy cars?

I am surprised that they did not arrest a highly decorated, white, paraplegic, right wing extremist veteran… You know the ones napolitano describes as being americas biggest terrorist threat…

Isn’t it amazing that these morons are so COMMITTED to the idea that regular Americans (especially vets and tea partiers) are dangerous extremists who must be watched and controlled all the while missing the radical Muslims who have tried to blow up airplanes, murdered American Soldiers on a US base, and made half-assed car bombs recently, and on THEIR WATCH? Never mind what’s happened in the past 15 years, like the USS Cole and 9/11, this is the stuff of recent memory that even a Goldfish has a recollection of, and they STILL DON’T GET IT.

Note that he was a Naturalized American Citizen and not an innocent but frequently blamed illegal alien. Heck, since he screwed up the bomb and didn’t actually hurt anyone, and since the media has done such an excellent job of obfuscating exactly what a “Native Born Citizen” is, he ought to be able to get a Hawaiian COLB and run for president in 2012.

Rahm Emanuel was quoted as saying “so many loopholes so little time…”

What I want to know is: When is Bloomberg going to send me and all the rest of the Obama-fraud opponents our 25 cents?

What I want to know is if it had a fully automatic transmission. You know, one of those dangerous “assault transmissions” that people were talking about.
