Bush Pardons Osama?

www.huffingtonpost.com

WASHINGTON, DC: In a stunning late-hour development, President George W. Bush has granted Osama bin Laden a pardon for the murder of more than 2,700 Americans in the fall of 2001.

"This kinda came out of nowhere," said a White House aide who requested anonymity. "I wouldn't have put bin Laden on the short list myself. On the other hand, maybe this is the president's way of finding closure. Because ... y'know ... he wasn't actually able to kill bin Laden, or capture him"

Has anyone seen or heard anything else about it? It seems more like a story worthy of The Onion.

Have I missed something? Is this a satirical piece? Otherwise, this would seem to be an appalling misuse of the Presidential Pardon.

I haven't seen this verified elsewhere, but sadly it seems a totally believable thing for Bush to do on his way out.

Osama is the figment of the American imagination.

Maybe he is leaving us a hint who was not behind 9/11.

or he wants to get of Bin Ladens hit list.

It is usually customary for an outgoing president to put something totaly crazy and outlandish on their pardon list. I am sure Bush probably followed that tradition to the best of his ability, he just played it out in very bad taste.

Then again.........

Cheers!!!!

This has no other source. And it is ridiculous and outright lying. Bush has indeed committed many crimes. Of this I am certain. But this is just ridiculous and no one would ever allow Bush to get away with it.

Here's my source:

The aide paused, then went on to say, "Can you believe this dude (Bush) was actually president for eight (expletive) years? What were we thinking? Seriously, what the (expletive) were we thinking?"

The aide began weeping quietly. "May God have mercy on me for my role in the unfathomable travesty that was the Bush administration."

Conservative columnist William Kristol insisted the pardon made sense.

Funny stuff.

Of course it's totally fake.

In a way Osama has already been pardoned, the fact that he is alive and well is testament to that.

If he is then I'm Saddam Hussein. That guy is long gone, I can't see someone dependent on dialysis surviving in caves (or Cleveland) for eight years. (insert image of smiley face here)

No, I won't put another smiley face on here so Mr. Grumpy Moderator will erase the post.....

Apologies, much to my relief, this is obviously fake.

Is Huffington Post another satire rag then? Or just journalistically biased/poor?
