A Face in the Crowd

Sorry to return to political hackery so soon after OBL got catapulted off the fantail of the U.S.S. Carl Vinson, but the patriotic buzzkill by the likes of Kieth Olberdouche's understudy at [P]MSNBC, Laurence O'Donnell, and others on the left have harshed my mellow, dude. So, I guess they're making hay while the sun shines and hoping it will be enough to feed the livestock for the next 18 months.

Well, as long as we're getting catty, The POTUS got up in front of the press and beat his chest about how he pulled the string on OBL -- like some latter-day Jack Ryan in Executive Orders -- from deep inside the underground bunker with his minions at his side. You know, watching it live like it's some steaming feature fresh off of Net Flix.

Problem with that is the pic they released to the press of our beloved, clear-eyed  leader and the assembled throng:

"Someone get me a beer and some popcorn and Milk Duds for Joe here?"

Is it me, or does he look like the janitor someone invited in to see the show just to be polite?

O.K., enough snarkiness for one night. Take that Larry O 'Donnell.

UPDATE: Naw, I ain't going that quietly. Anybody else look at the pictures inside that compound and think what i was thinking? You know, like OBL was living in some crack house or one of those flop stoips used by coyotes to dump illegal immigrants after they make it across the border?

You'd think that, with all his millions, he'd do a little better than that. I mean, maybe a Holiday Inn or he could have at least asked Tom Bodette to leave the light on for him.

Still, I guess it's better than a cave or sleeping out in under the stars among the ants and goat turds.
