This is Priceless

The latest OBL tape must be doing great damage to John Kerry's presidential aspirations.

(From Drudge)

Former CBSNEWS anchorman Walter Cronkite believes Bush adviser Karl Rove is possibly behind the new Bin Laden tape.

Cronkite made the startling comments late Friday during an interview [with Larry King] on CNN.

:recovering from ROTFL:

As far back as my memory goes (early sixties), there was Walter Cronkite: a stern yet trustworthy and fatherly sort; calmly and earnestly reporting the news on the venerated CBS.

Sometimes it sucks to grow up.

But I bet it doesn’t suck to be Karl Rove. That guy must have the largest ego imaginable.

So, liberals, leftists and Kerry Democrats: have we caught OBL or haven't we?

UPDATE: Transcript.

CRONKITE: Who's to blame for it really is the intensity of this campaign. Plus the fact that we have a preface to this in the last campaign. What year was that now?

UPDATE: Tim Blair has the email exchange between Gandalf Rove and The Dark Lord Sauron bin Laden. Hold on to your kidneys! Meant in two senses.
