a time, back in 2001-2002, when I wanted to see Bin Laden's corpse ground up, made into urinal cakes and distributed throughout the country.
When I watched the President on Sunday night I saw a man who did not gloat when most would have. He did what he said he would do, with the help of some really tough dudes and a lot of expensive equipment. He took no pleasure in ordering people killed and it showed. I agree with his decision not to release photos of the corpse and the burial at sea. This is the smartest President of my lifetime and I am almost 64 years old. We are lucky to have him, although his hope of changing the way things are done in Washington ran into a wall of Republican intransigence and barely veiled racism. Let's help him get Congress back in 2012 and let him keep some of the promises he will take pleasure in keeping.
Bin Laden sat out a long firefight and let a woman try to defend him. I like to think I wouldn't have done that-would you? He died a fucking coward and sleeps with the fishes, that is good enough for me.
