Bin Laden - the new Oprah

Who's Osama Bin Laden think he is, Oprah Winfrey? I love the fact that he is now making book recommendations. And this comes in the wake of George II's comments that his wife will not run for Senate, but will continue to focus on spreading literacy. At the same time, as far as we can tell, Bush doesn't even read books, but Bin Laden is recommending The Rogue State by William Blum. I've always thought there was an unnatural relationship between the Bush's and the Bin Ladens.

I also love this part about Bin Laden reaching out straight to the American people. From the AP article: "Bin Laden said he decided to make a statement to the American people because he said President Bush was pushing ahead despite polls which showed 'an overwhelming majority of you want the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq.'" Right, so Bin Laden's popularity in America will soon be passing Bush's. Beautiful. How'd we get in such a mess?
