Democrats Spin bin Laden As Supporting Bush

A new Democratic spin is emerging to try and counter the reemergence of Osama bin Laden. Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell uttered it today on Fox News Sunday.

The Democrats now believe that Osama bin Laden would like George W. Bush reelected, and that the videotape released Friday was timed to help the president. They believe that Osama considers the hated Bush a wonderful recruiting tool for Al Qaeda.

Picking myself up off the floor, trying to stop the laughing from this Rendell howler, I ask the following:

HUH?

Let me get this straight. Governor Rendell just said that Osama bin Laden would like four more years of George W. Bush? Ok, that's verified.

Right.

Osama wants four more years of the man who chased him out of Afghanistan, destroyed his terrorist camps, killed most of his deputies and has so diminished his prestige that he cannot attack America on the eve of the election, but can only issue a videotape.

Sure, Governor Rendell. Right.
