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! It’s Karl . . . Karl Rove!

ObL: Hey Karl. What’s 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, that’s what I want to talk to you about. You mind doing us a favor?

ObL: Can’t 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: What’s that?

ObL: One of your airstrikes the other day. Took out our last remaining video camera.

Rove: You don’t say?!! Came pretty close to gettin’ you on that one, did we? Well . . . whaddya know! . . . . . . . Say, uh, . . . . which, uh, . . . airstrike was it? If you don’t mind me asking.

ObL: Don’t really want to comment on that one, Karl. But we are out one video camera now.

Rove: Hey, that’s no problem. I’ll have my people send one right over. Which, uh, cave should we deliver it to?

ObL: Don’t sweat that. I’ll send a courier to pick it up.

Rove: Well, uh, OK. Sure. Your call.

ObL: When can you get it here?

Rove: How’s 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. We’d really be grateful.

ObL: No problem.

Rove: Thanks! Please pass on my regards to your wives.

ObL: Same here – best to the missus.

Rove: I’ll pass that on to her. Take care now!

ObL: Bye.

So it’s official now – Uncle Walt, the erstwhile “most trusted man in America” is now a bona fide card carrying member of the Michael Moore/Jimmy Carter/Looney Left wing of the Democratic Party.
