Finding Bin Laden

This is pretty interesting: What if They "Find" bin Laden Before the Election?

On the surface, apprehending a guy like Osama right before an election would be a good thing for the Bush/Rove Repugs. But...

Their credibility is now so damaged that it might backfire--especially if Democrats were to be smart about it. Candidates should confine themselves to solemn head shaking and comments like "All I can say is that this is very convenient timing." Bloggers will take care of the rest.

The possibility of backfire is so real that if, just by chance, just by accident, they were to locate bin Laden in the next couple of weeks they might be well advised to keep him on ice until after the election.

That's how suspect they've become. That's the kind of looking-glass warp of weirdness you get into when you lie as much and as often as they have.

Man, this political system is screwed up.
