On the Larry King show, Walter Cronkite, the godfather of biased media, says that Carl Rove, set up this whole Usama bin Laden lecture and broadcast.

Please.


Ah, Larry King transcript snip:

CRONKITE: What we just heard. So now the question is basically right now, how will this affect the election? And I have a feeling that it could tilt the election a bit. In fact, I'm a little inclined to think that Karl Rove, the political manager at the White House, who is a very clever man, he probably set up bin Laden to this thing. The advantage to the Republican side is to get rid of, as a principal subject of the campaigns right now, get rid of the whole problem of the al Qaqaa explosive dump. Right now, that, the last couple of days, has, I think, upset the Republican campaign.

Maybe Walter's losing it. I would say that is quite a limb to walk out on without more evidence/theory. Would Rove do it if he could? In a heartbeat. The timing *is* amazing, but if Bin Laden wanted to get attention, no better time than now. If he wants to say "it doesn't matter who you elect", I guess this would be the time.

I'd go so far, though, as to give Cronkite's speculation a 5 percent chance! I'm just struggling to think of what kind of Rovian PsyOps maneuver could produce it. Sending Bin Laden a "Who's Your Daddy?" postcard?

The one I really want to know about is the "American Al Queda" What's up with that? Now I could easily believe that Rove ginned that up because OBL wasn't making the required appearance -- only to have him appear. And so it seems the American Al Quaeda has disappeared until November 3rd.
