For the historical record, I assume that the NSA will have a tape of Karl's conversation with Osama bin Laden's media guy. After all Bush said that he wanted to hear people talk to terrorists. But I don't think that a subpoena from Waxman will get it. Can you say "18 minute gap ?"
Of course, I could be wrong.
The 04 one came out on
October 29, 2004, at 21:00 GMT which is about 4 Eastern time on Friday before the election and caused all the talk to be about whether he (bin Laden) was supporting Bush or Kerry. . Just in time for the GOTV weekend and apparently marked the beginning of the fabled 72 hour plan.
Of course Karl has a little problem, in that his influence with Osama is not what it used to be. Karl has already supplied all the recruits a man could want and somehow I don't think Osama is going to respond to the normal Rove charm. or to quote The Wikipedia
Karl Rove er kjent for sitt sterke temperament og bruk av banneord. Et hyppig gjengitt eksempel er sitatet: "We will f*ck him like he's never been f*cked before."
Incidently the Norwegian for Wikipedia is Wikipedia.

No, I think it was one of those "what have you done for me lately" conversations. Then there is the matter of what the script should be. "Oh God, Oh God, we are hurting because of Iraq ?" No, I think that's our line. What would Karl want him to say beyond, "I'm Ned Lamont and I approve this message."
