RUMORS, RUMORS [OBL Dead?]

RUMORS, RUMORS [K. J. Lopez]

File this under unsubstantiated gossip. Was chatting with Jim Robbins. He keeps hearing this morning that the president might have some OBL news tonight? A new Islamist website is reporting that bin Laden is dead...and Musharraf has for the first time said publicly that OBL is in his country. We shall see...I'm skeptical. Jim is too. Jim adds wisely though: "if there is major terrorism news the president should just talk about that and talk domestic politics later -- if there is no major news, he should stick to his domestic agenda." Social Security reform rocks, but, uh, would get buried with OBL in the news coverage.

Still...skeptical. But I said Ratzinger wasn't going to be pope.

It would be wonderful news if OBL was dead. But I am not going to hold my breath waiting to hear it.

The rumor of the day yesterday was that Tom DeLay was stepping down.

I like this rumor better.

So, will Howard Dean think that's a "good thing" if he's dead?

God I hope they didn't find his corpse with ladies panties on his head. Just think how poorly it would reflect on the USA.

He'll say the world is more dangerous now that he's dead - just like YellowBeard.
