I'm still here. You haven't caught me. And you went after the wrong guy. I just thought I'd remind you.

Now, why that helps Bush is beyond me. For months, we saw the offense-is-defense idea pushed by every pundit you can think of who had access to RNC talking points that any discussion of Iraq, no matter how bad, was good for Bush. Whatever bad things surfaced that pointed out how screwed up Iraq was, it was good for Bush. Everything he did wrong was great publicity for him. Like the explosives story all this week. Like Halliburton investigations. Right.

I saw OBL today and I thought, hmmm. Looks in good health. Had access to video equipment. Arms work. Looks clean. So where is he? Why hasn't Bush found him? Why isn't Bush talking about him?

Kerry did the right thing, and so did Bush today. Both made their statements, neither was partisan, and it was over. George Stephanopolous suggested on ABC World News (hardly friendly Kerry country) that as far as the election went, it was likely a wash. I agree. Could have been a disaster if either one was partisan about it. Neither guy was.

For those who have made up their minds, no change. For those who haven't, there are plenty of folks who want to know why he was free to make that video. While we're tied up in Iraq, he's out doing the propaganda thing. And that's not going to sit well by Tuesday.
