Osama bin Baba-Booey

Interesting story at reason.com about one Qusair Mohamedbhai who claims that not only was he denied a checking account at a bank, but that a bank officer later went on to boast -- at a bank safety conference -- that she had stopped a terrorist and cited Mohamedbhai, a lawyer, by name.

My first thought was how many of my compatriots in the talk radio biz would, no doubt, get ahold of this story and, no doubt, with no more information than one would garner from reading the previous paragraph, slur the lawyer as an "obvious" terrorist and praise the bank officer as some kind of besieged American hero.

My second thought was to wonder just how it would sound.

I think it might go...somethin'...like...this…
