Sauce for the goose

The White House was besieged with bipartisan complaints about the TSA's "enhanced pat-down" search procedure for airline passengers who opted out of the nude-body x-ray. Complaints were flooding in from all across the political spectrum as the Internet went wild with cell-phone videos of "gate rape" as the nation transformed into "grope and change."

Obama had to act, and he had to act now. He decided to send Michelle home to Chicago for Thanksgiving, flying commercial. Followed by a retinue of network newscasters, she would ostentatiously opt out of the body scanner and submit to the pat-down.

The moment finally came as Michelle was escorted over to the footprints on the floor where she would stand for her nationally televised pat-down.

The TSA supervisor on site walked over, took one look at Michelle's derriere, and called the whole thing off.

Budget cuts had eliminated overtime for TSA agents.

Things that make you go "huh?"

Yet another manifestation of California's political insanity: the same people fight with equal vigor to legalize marijuana as to outlaw smoking.

Go figure...
