No question, this has been a good week for the administration. With a vile terrorist dead, a wonderful trip by the President to Iraq, and Rove safe, it must feel pretty sunny around the White House.
I'm always puzzled by the ineptness of the loyal opposition (just as I was when Clinton was President, and the GOP was in that role). There are two times when you need to shut up and get out of the way: when the President is having success, and when he is in trouble. Actually, when there's success, your best bet is to try to share in it (certainly Democrats could have said they've been saying all along that we should go after terrorist leaders, whether that's true or not). The time for nitpicking is next week; the idiotic carping and conspiracy theories just make the left look loony.
