No Surprises At All: Bush and Co. Don't Deliver

Alas, alack, let us all rend our garments! George W. Bush, that evil-doer, has not suddenly found Osama bin Laden; he has not been holding that infamous terrorist hostage just so he could be "captured" at the perfect moment. Oil prices have not plunged to levels Americans once knew in the blissful 1960s; oil is not flowing like rivers down our streets. No crazy videotape from some rocky redoubt has been secreted away and aired on Fox News, sending tremors of fear down the American spine. No terrorist plot has been foiled in Detroit, no bombs detonated in Syracuse or Flagstaff. The terrorist threat level has not been raised.

The alleged fear-mongers and manipulators have abandoned us. They have let us down. They have proven their great incompetence, unable to bring forward the very evidence of their own great conspiracies. John McCain will not be saved by the immediate extradition of Osama bin Laden from his vacation home in Buenos Aires; Bush and Co. have nothing to present to surprise either October or November. They have no tricks up their sleeves, because they have no sleeves. They have no clothes.

(Rumor has it that Wesley Clark has been holding Osama bin Laden so he can present him as Barack Obama's trophy two days after the inauguration.)

On the eve of the "most important election in our lifetime," one message is clear: Bush can't get nothin' right.
