Day 1,146 and Counting: "I've been surprised that the Republicans haven't come out with guns a-blazing since the bin Laden tape, screaming (or at least suggesting) that it proves that Osama wants you to vote for Kerry. A few pundits have indulged in this idiocy, but by and large the administration and its surrogates have stressed that the bin Laden tape should not be politicized.
We're supposed to believe that they consider this above politics? Please. These people would politicize a bingo match. They're not politicizing this (although there's still one day to go) because the existence of the tape is not, contrary to the cable conventional wisdom on Friday night, a good development for them. They don't need the American public repeatedly reminded, in the campaign's last 72 hours, that the man who killed 2,700 Americans is still at large. "
