More fun with "Rathergate" in comparison to the real cooked document story of our time.

It takes a tragic event in Saudi Arabia to remind the media of the fact the rest of us (those who think) have known all along - yes, the majority of the September 11th hijackers and their money came from Saudi Arabia. Can we attack Zimbabwe now?
