Double standards? Just paranoia, I suppose.

By the way, how much airtime did CNN or any of the networks spend when George Bush, the friggin’ President of the United States and the most powerful man in the world, not an ex-candidate not running for any office, said he didn’t know where Osama bin Laden is, and doesn’t care? We were all told that getting that murderous SOB was Job No. 1, weren’t we? It was a flip-flop of historic proportions, one that must have generated days upon days of self-important probing, crisis reports in front of the White House, and righteous demands for an apology – much like that other Bush zinger admitting that “no, we cannot actually WIN the war on terror.” Except neither statement did generate more than modest mainstream media attention, to the point that I suspect most people who might read this have never heard that Bush said those things.

Meanwhile, watching CYAing among our friends going on tonight, it is gratifying to see an upbeat analysis like this one at Unclaimed Territory:

What we need to remember is that the race is never over. At least that's the only assumption I can work with. Naive? I really don't care.
