I wonder what Cronkite's DU name is?
Gee . . . maybe Uncle Walt is right. In fact, I can imagine it happening just this way:
(Ring . . . Ring . . . Ring . . .)
ObL: Hello?
Rove: Yes, hello. May I speak to Osama, please?
ObL: Speaking. How may I help you?
Rove: Hey, Osama! Its Karl . . . Karl Rove!
ObL: Hey Karl. Whats up?
Rove: Aw, pretty busy here, as you might imagine. Pretty tight race goin on right now. You may have heard.
ObL: Yeah, going down to the wire, for sure.
Rove: Well, thats what I want to talk to you about. You mind doing us a favor?
ObL: Cant say. Depends on what it is.
Rove: Would you mind doing a video tape for us? Release it right before the election?
ObL: Well, maybe. What do you want me to put in it?
Rove: Well, you know. Put in all the Democratic talking points. Make references to Fahrenheit 9/11. Put in a bunch of Michael Moore stuff. That sort of thing. Think you could do that for us?
ObL: Yeah, sure Karl, we probably could. Just one problem, though.
Rove: Whats that?
ObL: One of your airstrikes the other day. Took out our last remaining video camera.
Rove: You dont say?!! Came pretty close to gettin you on that one, did we? Well . . . whaddya know! . . . . . . . Say, uh, . . . . which, uh, . . . airstrike was it? If you dont mind me asking.
ObL: Dont really want to comment on that one, Karl. But we are out one video camera now.
Rove: Hey, thats no problem. Ill have my people send one right over. Which, uh, cave should we deliver it to?
ObL: Dont sweat that. Ill send a courier to pick it up.
Rove: Well, uh, OK. Sure. Your call.
ObL: When can you get it here?
Rove: Hows close of business tomorrow? Think you can turn around a video by the end of October if we do that?
ObL: Yeah, sure Karl. Consider it done. Anything else we can do for you?
Rove: Naw, that should do it. Wed really be grateful.
ObL: No problem.
Rove: Thanks! Please pass on my regards to your wives.
ObL: Same here best to the missus.
Rove: Ill pass that on to her. Take care now!
ObL: Bye.
