Tikun Olam-תקון עולם: Make the World a Better Place

News reports from Pakistan claim a new audiotape from Osama bin Laden speaks favorably about a McCain presidency:

Inshallah, we’re looking forward to four more years of Bush policies with this McCain fellow.  George Bush has been good for us and we think McCain could be even better.  Imagine, he might even widen the war against us and persuade more shahids to join our cause.  McCain, we wish you well in ‘08.

Barack Obama immediately released a statement attacking the “endorsement:”

“If Senator McCain is favored by Al Qaeda, I think people can make judgements accordingly.”

John McCain complained that Senator Obama had “lost his bearings” and that he, McCain, reserved the right to jump into bed with any Christian evangelical and Islamist slimeballs crazy enough to endorse him.

On a separate tangent.  I’ve thought of some new smear names for Barack Obama: Obamasama and Obamahama[s].  Cool, no?  How long before you start seeing them in the right-wing blogosphere?  Bets anyone?

Thanks to reader SimoHurtta for the above idea.
