That was fun while it lasted...
I had about 36 hours of feeling pretty good about the raid and death of Osama Bin Laden. It was all surprising. The news, the images of our nation's young people spontaneously erupting like we saw our grandparents do at the end of WWII, the description of our President's courage, the efficiency of our SEAL team, the unity of celebration and the almost universal consensus that the world was a better place.

Then came Tuesday. The revisions of the narrative of the mission, the petty BS, the ungracious acts, the analysis, the critics from the left, right and center.

Back to reality now.

Fun while it lasted.

1. And...MSNBC: Bin Laden wife: He was held 10 min, then killed.
I've got to believe that MSNBC got a blistering call from the WH about this. Don't know if they continue to push this nonsense, since I'm not watching.

2. The WH only needs one statement
Anyone who chooses to believe bin laden's wife is welcome to do so.

4. I didn't expect the RWingers to lie down and die.
Their insanity has no bounds. They live in delusion.

5. It has been the right, left and center.
It was inevitable that the buzz killers had their day. Are you surprised that it was as short as/as long as it was?

7. I nearly posted the same - how can we win when the so called "left" undermines Obama on a win? nt
