Osama Bin Laden is dead, long live Osama!
Don't think that the killing of Bin Laden in Pakistan is going to to put this boogeyman to rest, despite the congratulatory statements of some 2012 Republican candidates (only one of whom, Pawlenty, gave Obama any credit).
I predict the imminent eruption on the Right of a new movement of wackos who will inevitably come to be known as "Deathers".
Their arguments will go something like this:
* If Bin Laden is dead, why hasn't Obama released his long form body?
* Oh yeah, right. Buried at sea according to Islamic principles. That just proves that Obama is a Muslim.
* Until I see Michelle Malkin place her fingers in his wounds, I will not believe.
* Bin Laden can't be dead. It's a well known fact that he will only die when George Bush drives a wooden stake through his heart.
* What took Obama so long? Huh? Bush? Well, he had "other priorities." He wanted to make sure the rich would pay NO taxes before moving on to less pressing matters.
* Pay no attention to the footage on ABC News. Everyone knows how easy it is to fake this sort of think. Hell, we've been watching Fox for years!
** As a Muslim, Obama is only allowed to kill infidels like you and me.
I'm sure you can think of other arguments that will be raised. And that's why God created the comments thread.
