The Napolitano Mambo Italiano

Somebody please tell Sully that while I said I could see the argument for firing Janet Napolitano, if we really wanted to hold people accountable, we'd be A) firing GOP Sen. Jim DeMint for blocking the TSA from even having an accountable department head and B) firing Bush again for setting up the TSA in the first place, and C) we'd fire ourselves for being idiotic about the fact the odds of a terror attack on an airline are a fraction of being hit by lightning.

Also, John Cole speaks truth.

Accountable for what? What did she do wrong? Napolitano didn’t change any procedures which then led to the bomber getting through security. She didn’t shift the DHS budget in a way that impacted security. She didn’t botch the response. And her statement is factually correct, and only wrong if you completely distort what she said?

Is Sullivan operating with a different definition of accountable than I am? Because his definition of “accountable” looks a helluva lot like my definition of “scapegoat.” He wants her fired not for her job performance, but for giving Republicans (with yet another assist from the liberal media) a sound bite that is easy to demagogue. That is not how adults operate.

Adults?  Where are the adults?  There are no adults here.

Jesus wept.

[UPDATE 11:23 AM]  John Cole is on a roll today, calling Newtie's tweet a good hour before he complains about Obama's "witch hunt" in our intel agencies.
