CRONKITE: KARL ROVE BEHIND BIN LADEN TAPE Sat Oct 30 2004 16:31:19 ET

Former CBSNEWS anchorman Walter Cronkite believes Bush adviser Karl Rove is possibly behind the new Bin Laden tape.

Cronkite made the startling comments late Friday during an interview on CNN.

Cronkite said he is "inclined to think that Karl Rove, the political manager at the White House, who is a very clever man, he probably set up bin Laden to this thing."

Interviewer Larry King did not ask Cronkite to elaborate on the provocative election eve accusation.

Cronkite has been 'drunk' or full of himself for decades, ever since he got the national 'anchor' position at cbs.

Somebody needs to tell Cronkite that fat, bigoted and stupid is no way to go through life. As for Larry King, he's a shill for and a suck-ip to celebrities. There was no chance that he would act like an newsman and follow up on this extraordinary charge.

Here's my theory: Bin Laden's in custody and was forced to read the script for the tape. It would be branded as too political to just say "we captured Bin Laden a few days before the election." So, tomorrow, Sunday, Bin Laden will be "captured" and the announcement made!

G.W. can say that the tape led to Bin Laden and we nabbed him!

Rove is absolutely brilliant!

If the "old media" has any respect for their elders, they will never again put Uncle Walter in front of a mike.

He has become the crazy uncle you keep in the attic.

He should not be invited to become a subject of scorn in public. Simple courtesy is all that is required.

Yea, Carl Rove has a direct connection via phone with bin Laden:
Here is a brief transcript:
Rove: Hey OBL (he calls him that for short) what are you up to this weekend?
OBL: Not much, just hanging out here in the cave.
Rove: Want to do a video for us before the election?
OBL: Sure, not much happening around here - I can use the work and I just got my outfit back from the cleaners - I will look great!
Rove: Great, we will send a video team right over - should be there in a few hours.
OBL: I will be looking for them - anything special you want me to say?
Rove: No, just make Bush and Republicans look good for the upcoming election.
OBL: OK - Talk you again soon!
Rove: Bye Bye
OBL: Bye Karl - take care and say hello to the wife for me!

Hey Walter,

Open mouth, remove foot, engage brain. If Rove had access to conspire with Bin Laden, he would have engineered a slightly different October Surprise...
