Why are Republicans associating with Osama bin Laden?

Not to put too fine a point on it, you'd think a GOP attack ad featuring Osama bin Laden would just remind voters that Osama's still on the loose and W's not too very worried about finding him.

Talk about foozle factor.

Darned motivating, though. I stopped by the Linn County Auditor's Office this afternoon and cast an absentee ballot. I pity the fools.
