Joe Scarborough Has a Spasm Over Napolitano

Anyone who still believes that Janet Napolitano--who said "the system worked"--actually meant that, is just being making political hay. I didn't take it that way but then again, I don't think that the Obama administration is weak on terror or that it's engaged in nefarious activities. Many wingnuts think exactly that. Joe Scarborough is not a wingnut, but rather a moderate conservative who usually at least makes an attempt to be reasonable.
Not this time though.
Obviously the system didn't work. Napolitano is obviously not an idiot, therefore a reasonable person can conclude that she didn't mean the system worked.
The day after her Sunday appearance on Meet the Press, she clarified what she meant-- that the system response following the incident worked. Obama backed her up in his speech. Even Bush's former intel chief Michael Chertoff backed up Napolitano, saying she was competent and highly qualified.
Janet Napolitano's head is not going to roll.
