Either Osama's wives weren't doing their job, or it's their porn collection.

It would be more accurate to say he was digesting souffle when he got the news:
"I excused myself and went home to take the call"

He obviously didn't feel like impressing the other restaurant guests by taking a call from the President in public.

What do they mean by "porn"? We're talking about somebody in league with Islamic fundamentalists. Was it women with uncovered faces or what?

Goats were involved.

It's a female goat unaccompanied by a male relative!

Down, boy.

Meade: Down, boy.

If it involves boys is it even considered pornography over there?

What if it's gay porn and bin Laden turns out to have been a homosexual? That would make gay history month pretty damn interesting!

Just like you guys to take something pure and natural like goat porn and turn it into something tawdry.

Now where were we - oh yeah - decrying the destruction of the original blog due to political pressure exerted by the Obama administration. The wise and powerful Obama determines who shall live and who shall die, and don't you forget it.

"...the destruction of the original blog due to political pressure exerted by the Obama administration."

You mean he's been sitting up there in the Oval Orffice all day, clicking "report abuse" over and over again? That's it then -- Obama has lost me.

It would have been funnier if GWB was enjoying porn and OBL was eating a Souffle.

Actually either way is pretty good.

What else has he got to do? Biden and Panetta are doing all the real work. And Hillary! Don't forget Hillary!

Orffice: n. An office shaped like an orifice.

I'm so stealing that, Meade.

And, Sixty Grit?

Thanks for forcing me to lie to my son when he asked why I'm laughing. I'm pretty open with him, but I am just not prepared to discuss the concept of goat pr0n at this stage.

Bet you bin Laden was the only one with the really good goat porn.

...and Dubya didn't crow a bit about "his" policies being vindicated.

Still whining about Obama?

Again, why are conservatives soooo fixated/obsessed w/porn?

Rhetorical questions.

From a friend of a poster at another forum:

Go to your nearest bar and order an Osama bin Laden: two shots and a splash of water.

take care

I love this contrast, Althouse.

I love it.

Our President is just living the life of an American, with access to foods and cultures and ideas, and also facing a lot of criticism with grace.

Osama is living in a van down by the river with his 15 year old wife and his skank magazine, preaching nonsense to nobody.

Reminds me of that other contrast: our amazingly advanced helo wreckage against their poorly built wall. We have futuristic silent helicopters because we are an open society bringing in the best minds. Many of our engineers are middle eastern, too. They can't even build a wall right, and they built it just so they can hide.

I've been in law enforcement for 30 years now, and I can say that in all that time, I've never done a search warrant where I did not find some type of porn. Yeah, it may just be a Playboy in a bathroom, which really isn't porn in my opinion, but whatever you call it, naked people and search warrants go hand in hand.

I would have thought OBL would kill himself if he had only DVD porn. That would get old quick unless the couriers were bringing in thumb drives with more up to date stuff.

Saddam was found with porn as well. I don't recall seeing any goats in his collection.
