Bush Will Get Osama Dead or Alive...

...if Osama walks into the White House and steals the TV remote while Bush is trying to watch Saturday morning cartoons.

Sound ludicrous?

No more so than yesterday's statement that only if someone is convicted of a crime, he would consider removing them from his administration. As Keith Olbermann pointed out on last night's Countdown, Bush didn't move the goal post, he moved the entire stadium.

It's not partisan bickering to want to remove Rove's - and now Libby's - security clearance. Both men, according to sworn grand jury testimony, have revealed national security secrets for no other reason than political retribution.

Also, people's security clearance is removed everyday with just the hint of impropriety because the prevailing wisdom is that if scandal touches someone with such clearance, "evil forces" can use it to blackmail the person.

So why is there any reticence whatsoever to remove the security clearance of "Bush's Brain" and Scooter Libby, who just happens to be Dick Cheney's senior man?
