Got him!
Everybody knows that today we captured Saddam Hussein. I heard when I got up for church this morning - 7:15, after staying up half the night drinking whiskey at my mother-in-law's Christmas party (Thanks, Peggy!) When I heard it, my first impulse was to fire an automatic weapon into the air, so I gained a little understanding of Arab culture this day.
Now for some understanding of lefty culture! Yes, it's Wrong-Footed Leftyt Reaction To Hussein's Capture Bingo at Boviosity!
I have two bingo items. Please add your own. They shouldn't be hard to capture in the wild. No fair reading ahead - you have to make your predictions before you look for examples.
My predictions:
Now that they can no longer snark that he hasn't been caught (as if that was supposed to be the administration's sole purpose,) every casualty from now on gets the, "sure glad they caught Saddam, fat lot of good that did" treatment (as if the administration promised an end to hostilities once he was captured.)
and
"Unseemly gloating unworthy of a so-called superpower."
(Confession: I actually caught one of those in the wild, on an e-mail group I frequent, in response to the first prediction above. But I still get bingo points if one appears on a lefty blog or major media.)
and
"Bush knew yesterday - how many US lives did he risk by sitting on the information in order to time the announcement to appear at a more convenient time in the news cycle?"

Prediction: Lefties will obsess over the fact that we won't pay out the $25 million reward. Never mind that nobody met the requirements--we MUST be cheating someone!

Bingo! One of the lefties on an e-mail list I frequent, who ridiculed me last week for the above predictions used the occasion of the rise in Homeland Security's terrorist threat level to Orange today to snarked about how the capture of Saddam was supposed to make us safer. I take that as a bingo on item 1 above.
