Homicidal Maniacs For Bush. The Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades, a group claiming to have ties to al Qaida and to be responsible for the Madrid bombings, issued a statement yesterday which among other things appears to be an endorsement of BC04. The group said that they couldn't think of any leader "more foolish than you (Bush), who deals with matters by force rather than with wisdom....Kerry will kill our nation while it sleeps because he and the Democrats have the cunning to embellish blasphemy and present it to the Arab and Muslim nation as civilization. Because of this we desire you (Bush) to be elected."
Upon hearing this, Shrub said, "See, I told y'all that there weren't no foreign leaders who done endorsed Sen.Kerry. Even them crazy bastard evildoers in al Qaida want me to win. Oh, and 9/11, 9/11, protect marriage, terror, 9/11."

Sure, there will be those who will argue that this group is just begging not to be thrown in the briarpatch, and they really do want Kerry but are just giving us a head-fake. So by this argument, the group actually is saying, "elect Kerry b/c he's weak on defense; we fear George Bush, ferocious leader of the infidels." But then you're trying to impose "rightwing logic" onto people operating off of "crazy person logic," and while there are many similarities, there are still subtle differences that prevent that conversion.

And as far as that group's name goes, "Brigade" must translate into something much cooler in arabic. Because when I hear "Brigade," I think of water balloons and peppermint.
