Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff might not have said “We’re all gonna die,” but he does have a “gut feeling” something bad is going down this summer.

Nothing against leaders who trust their gut, but here’s an analogy: imagine a top-ranking cabinet member in 1962, say Robert Kennedy, saying something like “I have a gut feeling the Ruskies are gonna nuke us this year, real good.” What good does that do to say to the public?

Let’s look at some of the insane things Chertoff said. On Al-Qaeda:

“We do worry that they are rebuilding their activities.”

So you don’t know? You’re worried they might be rebuilding? If we know this little about what’s going on in the world, how on earth have we staved off 9/11’s since 9/11?

“We could easily be attacked,” Chertoff added.

Ladies and gentlemen: this is your current secretary of Homeland Security.  Not only does he not know anything, he’s really scared of terrorists.

He reminds me of the Steward from the third Lord of the Rings movie, the guy who screams “flee! Flee for your lives!” when he sees the Orc army. That guy eventually dies a really weird death. I don’t wish that on Chertoff, but maybe someone should go all Gandalf on him.
