Bewdy Norm!

Questions over [Osama bin Laden’s] beard cropped up at a Congressional hearing Monday featuring top US security experts, including Director of National Intelligence Michael McConnell.”First, is this his beard?” Republican Senator Norm Coleman asked the spy chief. “Do we expect that — is it a signal?”

According to AFP, McConnell’s responses to Norm’s questions on the beard showed that the beard had “baffled the top US spy.”

I think it’s more likely that he was baffled by the same thing that baffles me - what is this wingnut doing in Congress?

    “what is this wingnut doing in Congress?”

    pretty much what all the other wingnuts are doing there!

    But it’s gotta be a message! OBL’s signalling he’s tanned, rested, and ready.

    But wait, there’s more: in the next one, he appears with Britney, further enhancing his new, youthful image.

    Norm Coleman has been wandering around shellshocked ever since he had to cop the blast of Galloway.

    Homage à Get Smart:

    Coleman: Don’t tell me that it’s the old potentially hidden message in the possibly dyed real or fake beard on the evil mastermind trick!

    Masterspy: It’s not the old potentially hidden message in the possibly dyed real or fake beard on the evil mastermind trick.

    Coleman: I asked you not to tell me that!

    What’s the matter with these American Congressmen? Don’t they watch the international news? Osama Ben Laden was in Sydney last week, still wearing the fake beard and APEC Security let him go and told him not to come into the exclusion zone because they thought he was a well-known Australian comedian.

    This character was elected after his opponent died and was replaced by a 72 year old who had already been a longterm Senator, Vice President and failed Presidential candidate. He objected to the US-Australia free trade deal. He insisted that the people responsible for inspecting the bridges that fell down in his electorate were bureaucratic taxeaters (before) and weren’t doing their very important jobs properly (after). He is up for re-election next year in what is a traditionally Democrat state and has refused to be photographed with Bush.

    The end (hopefully).

    If the beard is looking grown then the plane it must be flown but if the beard is clearly dyed then in the cave we hide.

    Proof that OBL is well acquainted with western popular culture.

    OBL’s weird, he’s got a burgundy beard,
    It’s a rip-off, such a rip-off.

    or, live from the desert planet of Baluchistan…

    Help us, OBL-Kenobi. You’re our only hope.

    OBL do not speak. He in cave with no batteries. Non moving images with english dub be fake. Homer in Springfield is real because he moves. So does smirking chimp.

    I am not sure to what extent you guys are being silly or ironic, however here is a good comparison of various apparitions of bin Laden:

    While I am tired of the debates over 9/11 in America, Australia’s unquestioning conformity with the official story is even more tiresome.

    Not that it matters if we can not only get advantages from the USA, but also sell strategic resources to China and Russia. Hope it doesn’t take an unexpected turn in the future.
