Ace of Spades phoned me from his visit over to the Democratic Underground, and was saying the denizens there are all aflutter at the possibility of an OBL capture. The full report's over at his place, but I took some notes:
Calimary, a red-white-and-blue niece of her Uncle Sam, is nothing but thrilled to think that OBL might soon be captured; she just worries that maybe it could help Bush in November. "Yeah, better now, when there are still many months to go," this loyal American pouts about the impending capture of an Al Qaeda leader, " and the impact can be thoroughly diffused, than closer to the election. Let's hope, if it happens, that it's soon." She enthuses further: "Let's get this over with, I guess, kind of like root canal."
Ah. The capture of a mass-murderer of American civilians is a distasteful and painful experience, "kind of like a root canal." We're wiping away a tear at the poignancy of such potent patriotism.
Is was really hard to hear him over the sound of John Philip Sousa playing in the background. They were really into it too- clapping along, and hooting and hollering up a storm.
