Blame the messenger, too. But listen to the message.

If Cheney can run around saying that a vote for Kerry will bring a rain of terror down on your ass so fast you won't have time to kiss it goodbye--then I can say this: Osama Bin Laden has tacitly agreed to bugger off if we get Bush out of office. A vote for Bush is a vote for endless terror.

Seriously, if you haven't already, take three minutes and read his whole statement. Unlike our lying religious zealot war-monger, Osama lays it all out for you; the history, the impetus, his future plan... it's like the part in every Batman episode where the BAD GUY ties the GOOD GUY to a plank on a conveyer belt routed toward the big nasty mangle-to-death machine, and then--while our hero is enjoying his last moments--delivers a death-bed explanation of his master plan, you know, out of courtesy. That whole polite good-guy to bad-guy mutual admiration between opposing equals stuff only found in comic books and Sherlock Holmes novels; and the Bush family and their middle-eastern dopplegangers.
