What a maroon.

Overnight, his 2000 work, "Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower," had become an Osama book.

In gray slacks, plaid shirt and black slippers, Blum padded around his one-bedroom apartment on Connecticut Avenue. A portrait of the Brooklyn Dodgers in the '50s hung on his kitchen wall. Bookshelves bowed under the weight of secret histories of the CIA. The cord on his prehistoric phone let him roam across the living room. He'd already done CNN and MSNBC. A guy from the New York Post knocked on the door to take pictures. The BBC rang, then Reuters and Pacifica Radio stations on both coasts.

Uhh... CNN? Check. BBC? Check. Al Reuters? Check. Pacifica? Check.

WHAT is Osama's life like? Does he sit around reading Arabic translations of leftie books? Does he have Al Franken podcasts?

Blum, who at 72 is accustomed to laboring in relative left-wing obscurity, checked his emotions and pronounced himself shocked and, well, pleased.

"This is almost as good as being an Oprah book," he said yesterday between telephone calls from the world media and bites of a bagel. "I'm glad."

So, when endorsed by the self-admitted murder of 3,000+ innocent Americans, and the direct, abject, deadly enemy of our nation and freedom, this guys response is that he is, "well pleased, glad, and as good as being on Oprah"

God help us and preserve us from such internal enemies and abettors of abject evil.

He did Fox and Friends this morning too.

On Fox and Friends they had the horrible Julian Phillips interview this fool and it was a disaster. I'm not always a fan of O'Reilly or Hannity but they would have served this clown his head. Phillips was clearly out of his element, again. Why do they let him do serious interviews, the man is really bad.

Saw this idiot of Fox & Friends this morning...he sounds like Elmer Fudd.

"If I were the president, I could stop terrorist attacks against the United States in a few days. Permanently. I would first apologize to all the widows and orphans, the tortured and impoverished, and all the many millions of other victims of American imperialism. Then I would announce, in all sincerity, to every corner of the world, that America's global interventions have come to an end, and inform Israel that it is no longer the 51st state of the USA but now -- oddly enough -- a foreign country. I would then reduce the military budget by at least 90% and use the savings to pay reparations to the victims. There would be more than enough money. One year's military budget of 330 billion dollars is equal to more than $18,000 an hour for every hour since Jesus Christ was born. That's what I'd do on my first three days in the White House. On the fourth day, I'd be assassinated."

William Blum: Why Terrorists Hate America

My vote for the dumbest comment of the millineum so far is still the Widow Jean Carnahan's

"I'm the number one target of the White House. They can't get Osama bin Laden; they're going to get me."

This guy comes close, though.

No surprise that Osama would enjoy a leftie book, but it's a bold admission of what we already know that the author is "pleased" with this endorsement.

Anorther fellow Jew for me to be ashamed of. I repudiate him

The ethics question: If osama gave you a million dollar windfall, what would you do with it?

Says William Blum of Osama: "I'm not repulsed by his embrace of my book."

By last night, "Rogue State" shot up from 205,763 to 26 on Amazon.com's index of the most-ordered books.

And who is buying this left-wing anti-American propaganda screed? The hordes of America-hating leftists in our society, that's who. They already agreed with everything in this book, they just didn't know it was on their assigned reading list.

Now, one of their teachers has spoken, and they all dutifully line up to obey his commands.

"Check" Was that confirmation of the world's leading propagandist and terrorist front organizations checking in? Check.

[Spirited]

How is Iran going to go after Israel while Osama is pimping for a Jew?

[Berlin_Freeper]

Call me crazy but if OBL recommends a book, I know what NOT to read.

[metesky]

Both Osama and Gore Vidal endorse the book, eh? Looks like he's got the homosexual vote sewed up.

"If he would contact me," said Blum, "then I would be scared."

Nice to see him hiding behind the security of our "evil empire".

[TADSLOS]

Why isn't this a$$clown already rotting in the bowels of Leavenworth?

[veronica]

Deport him.
