In case there was any doubt as to where the allegiance of many on the American left lies one might note the reaction of author/historian William Blum to having his book receive a favorable endorsement from none other than Osama bin Laden himself. Blum responded with these words:
Of course not. It's a great privilege for such as William Blum to have his book praised by a dread enemy of the United States. The man who would gleefully and deliberately incinerate every American child, if only he could, honors Mr. Blum with his endorsement, and Mr Blum is star-struck by the praise.
In fact, we hear that Mr. Blum was reported by neighbors to have been overheard singing in his shower the words to the old Byrds/Doobie Brothers song:
Osama is just alright with me, Osama is just alright, oh yeah
Osama is just alright with me, Osama is just alright
I don't care what they may say
I don't care what they may do
I don't care what they may say
Osama is just alright, oh yeah
Osama is just alright
I don't care what they may know
I don't care where they may go
I don't care what they may know
Osama is just alright, oh yeah
Sorry. We got a little carried away.
