We owned the news cycle this week. We had Bush, Rove and Cheney on the ropes. And now there is this Osama thing. This reeks of Rove to me. I knew it would be late in the week, and it was.
We had the 380 tons. We had bad economic numbers. We had the news about the 100,000 Iraqi casualties. All of that news, while devastating and awful, just reinforced that fact that this president and his administration have been a disaster for us.
Now the question is whether this Osama appearance will break for Bush or Kerry. I'm sure on the Democrat side it will break for Kerry because it's more proof that Bush failed in the war on terror. There is Osama, for all to see. Osama who, according to Bush, should have been captured dead or alive. Looks mighty alive and free to me.
The question is how this will break with Republicans and undecideds. I can't wait to hear the Republican spin machine tomorrow. Then we will really know if it was Rove.
