Meet Obama's Underwear Bomber Fall Guy

Obama has his "Heck of a job, Brownie" moment, setting up a Bush appointee to take the hit for the Northwest Underwear Bomber.  The New York Daily News "learns" counterterrorism director Michael Leitner stayed on the ski slopes rather than returning to the DC area.  

Harvard man Leitner, National Counterrorism Center head since 2007, will be the head that rolls.  Trust me.

I love the NYDN's understated description of the Underwear Bomber's injuries as "badly burned."  I reported to you two days after the inept Christmas attempt that law enforcement sources in Detroit told me that 23-year-old Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab burned his dick off.  The would-be martyr went to the airplane john, fashioned the PETN explosive into a phallus, injected it with glycerin or some flammable, went back to his seat and set the thing on fire. 

Abdulmutallab now has a stub where his penis used to be.  My sources say the bomb was impotent because he didn't have the requisite detonator cap that wouldn't pass security muster.

Vinney, Chickaboomer's head joke writer, reminds me of the criticism Bush Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff had to field post-Hurricane Katrina.  CNN:  "Lawmakers grilled Chertoff about why he stayed home the Saturday before Katrina made landfall on Monday, Aug. 29, why he made a previously scheduled trip to Atlanta that Tuesday, and why he didn’t act more decisively to speed up the federal response."
