Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Sunday morning that the administration is "certainly considering" that the car bomb found in New York's Times Square could be an act of terror.

She just hasn’t figured out how to blame the tea party yet.

[Irenic]

hahahahahaha!

That’s our ‘leaders’ these days.

[blam]

...the administration is "certainly considering" that the car bomb found in New York's Times Square could be an act of terror."

Well, that's just plain being mean-spirited and hateful to think that.

[Cicero]

The comment posted at the link certainly sums it up:

“I’m sure Mr. Janet Napolitano will consider it an act of terrorism if the perp was a white Christian male. If it was (god forbid) a muslim, it will be deemed an unfortunate accident.”

The only detail that surprises me in this comment is that I didn’t know Janet had had a sex-change operation.

After consultations with the White House, we’ve determined that the Times Square incident was not terrorist-related.

Not jumping to any conclusions here - a car set to detonate...hmm...could be the work of a terrorist.

TEA Party AND BP.

No trial for BP.
Zero and the rest of the Zero admin have already declared BP guilty. NO due process if this ADMIN decides your guilty.

Incredible! EPIC FAIL!!

[Repeat Offender]

Hey Janet; if you have nothing of intelligent value to say “consider” this: STFU

[Oceander]

Thank goodness they didn't target the official clown car!

[DJ Frisat]

In other words, there’s no plain-as-the-nose-on-your-face evidence that this was the work of someone with anti-American sentiment and ties to radical Islam, that they have to overlook.

So they’re trying to pin it on talk radio somehow...

Exhibit “A” of a low-wattage bulb.

Too low tech for Muzzies, probably those pesky Amish again.

cylinders of propane gas and cans full of petrol intended to be ignited by electronic detonators.

Look the guy was going to a large cookout thus the reason for the cylinders of propane gas, a long way away thus the reason for the cans full of gasoline and damn if the lighter all of a sudden started to work. Damn those defective electronic lighters, guess Obama needs to outlaw electronic lighters!

Napolitano: Administration 'certainly considering' possiblity of terrorism in car bomb,p> Yeah, considering the possibility of terrorism unless they discover some Muslim involvement. Then, it will be back to the usual "no known connection to terrorism".

[Krankor]

Even though the car started to smoke but luckily failed to explode, I guess she could say, “the system worked.”

[R0CK3T]

She is quite the Bright one, no?

A bigger tool has yet to arrive in modern politics, she epitomizes the term henchman.

I'm sure the lawyers from the ACLU Justice Department are on their way to NYC to determine if they will prosecute the alleged terrorists in NY or Kenya.
Even Governor Paterson came out and immediately said this is a terrorist act.

[umgud]

The Tea Partiers are older, more educated and should have been able to build a better bomb than that.
