The inevitable Osama bin Laden porn scandal has launched a thousand giggles within the news community, and even Lawrence O’Donnell couldn’t keep a straight face discussing the matter. On The Last Word yesterday, O’Donnell made “the official position of this show” that the pornography found on the compound was definitely bin Laden’s, and repeatedly deadpanned his shock that the Al Qaeda leader had hoarded illicit materials.

O’Donnell discussed the matter with NBC News’ Michael Isikoff, who tried his best to give bin Laden the benefit of the doubt, but didn’t get too far. “We don’t know if those are bin Laden’s videos,” he began, before being interrupted by O’Donnell exclaiming “Oh yes, we do!” and adding, “it is the official position of this show from this point forward that that is Osama’s stuff.” He had already began the segment expressing “shock and amazement” that bin Laden would collect porn, and couldn’t help but laugh at the delivery of his official stance. Isikoff added context that only added mockery to the matter: fundamentalist elements like bin Laden had been so consumed with sharing pornography that American intelligence “suspected that coded messages were being sent through pornographic pictures being sent through the internet.”

“Professionals were not all that surprised to find this,” Isikoff noted, distinguishing between the intelligence community and “you and I.” “You’re going to have to count me among the unsurprised,” O’Donnell quipped, “that a bunch of guys holed up hiding out for years have collected a massive amount of porn. I’m afraid I’m not going to be surprised by that.”

” Isikoff noted, distinguishing between the intelligence community and “you and I.”

This sentence used by Isikoff to distance himself and O’Donnell from intelligence is the first and only true statement this left wing ( more boring than a dead man ) bmb throwing zealot has ever made.

So, if OBL had porn, does that mean he is not “real Al Qaeda” (per the Maher post)?

Yes, Sara. The Seals knew when they broke in and he said, “I’ve got your jihad right here.”

“Discovered: Bin Laden’s Porn Stash”

BUT ya gotta put that in perspective: to an islamic muslim “porn” means exposing a woman’s left big toe from under her head-to-toe hijab. Apparently, that really turns them on.

“it is the official position of this show from this point forward that that is Osama’s stuff.”

Coming from someone with no journalistic integrity on a network with no journalistic integrity.

O’Donnell’s porn stash is even bigger than bin Laden’s. He shared some of his with bin Laden.

Larry’s doctor used to be a porn star. When giving him a shot, he pulls the needle out and squirts the medicine on him.
Probably NOT wrong

Seal Team Six said Usama Bib Laden was watching
“Saturday Night Beaver” when they broke the door down.
It’s in the Official Report.
Probably NOT wrong

O’Donnell and Isikoff are just too freaking
boring naturally to pull this skit off, though.
Boring, Boring, Boring!!!!

I’ve heard burqas have eyeholes so guys can tell which side they’re approaching.

The key to understanding bin Laden’s porn collection is the science of steganography — how to hide messages in pictures, spreadsheets, etc. The idea is to make the message look innocuous so the authorities don’t even closely examine it or try to crack the codes in it. Pornography is the ideal medium since there is so much of it, that it never raises suspicion. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/steganography.html for an introduction.

It also explains the embarrassment/nervousness of the courier.
