Sorry if you think I over reacted. I don't agree.
I still maintain that the headline is out of context. It was meant to titillate the reader and to imply that Bin Ladin actively and intentionally influenced in the election. That is a far different thing than the reality -- passive help from a scheme that backfired on bin Ladin.
This is the kind of wild accusation that the dum Dems take literally. My sister in law will be ranting about this for the next 5 years.
If Drudge was posting a headline out of context, Sammons and Hannity were doing the same thing on the air this afternoon. This is good stuff.
A statement by the world's most notorious terrorist on the eve of a Presidential election, in an admitted effort to influence that election, is titillating.
It was when it happened, and it still is now that we're far enough away to analyze what bin Laden was trying and whether it worked -- especially when Bush himself weighs in.
When I read what Sammons wrote and what Bush said, I see no ammo for the Democrats. Rather, it confirms my first reaction in Nov., 2004 (when I was out of state working in the campaign).
Bin Laden DID help Bush, thank the Good Lord. Sincerely and literally.
