Friday Funnies: Bin Laden Lunchtime Edition

  As you can guess, the late-night talk show hosts had a field day with Bin Laden jokes, as did the political cartoonist. A few of them are below. It is lunchtime on the East Coast. Eat and get a laugh.

David Letterman: "The Republicans are so happy about bin Laden they've granted President Obama full citizenship."

"How about those Navy Seals. We're getting our money's worth there. They broke into Osama bin Laden's compound with 12-foot walls topped by barbed wire, and fired a warning shot into his head."

"There's already been some trouble for Osama bin Laden in the afterlife. There was a mix up and he was greeted by 72 vegans."

Jimmy Kimmel:  "After all the talk about caves, bin Laden was hiding in a million-dollar mansion in Pakistan. The CIA became suspicious when they learned there was a million-dollar mansion in Pakistan."

"Osama bin Laden, as we speak, is living with Spongebob in a pineapple under the sea."

"He's up to 2,000 friends on Shot In The Facebook."

Jay Leno:  "Bin Laden was buried at sea. Or as Dick Cheney calls it, 'the ultimate waterboarding.'"

"Osama bin Laden was apparently shot twice in the face. It looks like Dick Cheney may have been involved."

Al-Qaida: Bin Laden Is Dead

  I guess that it is now official that Osama Bin Laden is dead now that Al-Qaida has said so?  Maybe now the United States can get on with the issues in the country that are still amongst the living. Things like jobs creation, higher taxes to pay for the operation of our government services, and other such matters.

   Maybe we can even talk half-term governor Sarah Palin into relocating to Bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan as a goodwill gesture. At least then when she says that she can see Pakistan from her house, she will be right this time.

  Al-Qaida also said that the happiness that Americans are having over Bin Laden’s execution will be turned to sadness.  

   So, who will be the next front-man for Al-Qaida?

The announcement opens the way for the group to name a successor to bin Laden. His deputy Ayman al-Zawahri is now the most prominent figure in the group and is a very likely contender to take his place. The U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, thought to be hiding in Yemen, has also been mentioned as a possible successor.    MSNBC

   I say send in  the SEALS and let them take at least the top 5 possible choices to replace Bin Laden out of the running. It’s a start.
