Who will Bush have arrested first: Osama Bin Laden, or Cindy Sheehan?

Bob Harris:Who will Bush have arrested first: Osama Bin Laden, or Cindy Sheehan?

With apologies for having neither the time nor graphics-wiz abilities to repeat the whole post here, but over in puduland I'd like to offer a couple of possible frames of the Cindy Sheehan protest in Crawford.

Remember, the CIA's head guy on the ground is saying that U.S. intelligence did so too know for sure that Bin Laden was trapped at Tora Bora in December 2001. The only thing which prevented his capture was a lack of troops, courtesy Rumsfeld and Bush.

So Bush could have had Osama arrested. And blew it.

So, pending developments as the week goes on: almost four years now into the War On Tara, who will George W. Bush have managed to arrest? Osama Bin Laden, or Cindy Sheehan?

Another frame that jumps out: the wide variety of human rights abusers and oil-soaked dictators Bush has happily made time for, even though he can't find half an hour for a grieving mother.

Then again, Cindy Sheehan has never opened fire on protesters.

Maybe she should have tried that.

My money's on the PrezNut arresting Sheehan first. I'm giving odds, for those that wish to place a bet.

Hi, Carrie--

I just posted your brilliant idea for a frame over at Democratic Underground. I also posted the name of your blog and a link to it, of course.
