GM Is Alive, and bin Laden Is Dead

You know the Rethuglicans feel vulnerable when they try to take an issue off the table (see, war on women, etc.). With the first anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden, the Rethugs are hypersensitive to the Obama Administration taking any credit for the achievement. Their presumed candidate, and well-lubricated weather vane Willard "Sketchy" Romney, is on record as having said in 2007 that he wouldn't have expended the resources in hunting bin Laden down.

Faced with that problem, the Rethugs are trying to take Obama's achievement off the table by criticizing the President for "politicizing" the removal of bin Laden, as if the Rethugs didn't politicize 9-11 and the Iraq misadventure (remember Dumbya's flight suit photo op on the carrier deck early in the Iraq war?). So during this election season, when you see Rethugs trying to flip the issue of the President taking credit for bin Laden's killing, remember two words: Mission Accomplished.
