Blli Clinton says on “Meet the Press”:

“There’s a one in a million chance that you might be alone somewhere and you’re Jack Bauer on ‘24′ — that’s the Jack Bauer example, right? It happens every season with Jack Bauer, but in the real world, it doesn’t happen very much.”

One in a million — sound familiar?

If so, you’re surely remembering the May South Carolina Republican debate.

Here’s Brit Hume:

“The questions in this round will be premised on a fictional, but we think plausible scenario involving terrorism and the response to it. Here is the premise: Three shopping centers near major U.S. cities have been hit by suicide bombers. Hundreds are dead, thousands injured. A fourth attack has been averted when the attackers were captured off the Florida coast and taken to Guantanamo Bay, where they are being questioned. U.S. intelligence believes that another larger attack is planned and could come at any time.  First question to you, Senator McCain. How aggressively would you interrogate those being held at Guantanamo Bay for information about where the next attack might be?”

And here’s McCain’s response: “If I knew for sure that they had that kind of information, I, as the president of the United States, would take that responsibility. That is a million-to-one scenario.”

What’s with all this million-to-one stuff?  Clearly neither McCain nor Clinton appreciate what “24” has been teaching us.  It happens all the time in Los Angeles.  Like, every hour.
