The New York Post is offering up the latest terror-mongering spin on Osama's videotape:

The respected Middle East Media Research Institute, which monitors and translates Arabic media and Internet sites, said initial translations of a key portion of bin Laden's video rant to the American people Friday night missed an ostentatious bid by the Saudi-born terror master to divide American voters and tilt the election towards Democratic challenger John Kerry.

MEMRI said radical Islamist commentators monitored over the Internet this past weekend also interpreted the key passage of bin Laden's diatribe to mean that any U.S. state that votes to elect Bush on Tuesday will be considered an "enemy" and any state that votes for Kerry has "chosen to make peace with us."

I'm still choking on the reverse psychology here--so, wait, this means people should vote for Bush, to give Osama the finger? Or for Kerry, to save their own skins? Perhaps it means that we have to take a "global test" tomorrow. I think I need a 527 to be formed in the next 3 hours in order to tell me how to interpret this on my drive-time radio inflected commute home.
