Bush believes bin Laden tape helped in his re-election

According to a new book, Bush believed that the bin Laden tape released before the 2004 presidential election was going to aid his chances of re-election:

"I thought it was going to help," Bush said. "I thought it would help remind people that if bin Laden doesn't want Bush to be the president, something must be right with Bush."

Sadly, more evidence that the Bush team was operating on the assumption that if bin Laden didn't like Bush, then it can be inferred that those who oppose Bush and support Kerry like Osama bin Laden. More evidence of mental defect and a generally mean (and incorrect) mindset of Republicans.
