THE REASONING OF THE RED QUEEN :

Fire Somebody, Dubya (Arnold Ahlert, New York Post)

This blessedly honest headline sums up a good deal of what passes for punditry these days. George W. Bush could prove he's in control and a serious leader if he just nails a scalp to the wall. It doesn't much matter whose or why--Norm Mineta, George Tenet, Robert Mueller, would all do. Of course, such a firing would have absolutely nothing to do with 9-11 or with improving our security. It would just give the lynch mob a good old-fashioned visceral thrill.
