Ken Cuccinelli Wants To Be One Of Bin Laden's 72 Virgins, For Some Reason [UPDATED]


First Posted: 05/ 4/11 10:37 AM ET Updated: 05/ 4/11 03:37 PM ET

I'm really not sure if this is an example of a bit of tweet-snark gone terribly awry, or maybe an account that's been hacked, but Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has sent one of the strangest tweets ever in response to the death of infamous terrorist Osama bin Laden.

How much would I give to be one of the 72 Virginans Osama is 'hanging out' with since Sunday?less than a minute ago via Twitter for BlackBerry® Favorite Retweet Reply


For real: what is going on here? Why is Cuccinelli going all Mitch Albom on Osama bin Laden? Does he really want to service bin Laden, sexually, in the great beyond? Maybe he plans to give the dead terrorist the "blue balls?" And is Cuccinelli a virgin, or was he -- perhaps more disturbingly -- shooting for "Virginians" with this tweet? It's possible that Cuccinelli is trying to say that he wishes he had been part of the United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group, more informally known as "SEAL Team Six," who conducted the raid on bin Laden's compound and who are garrisoned in Virginia at the Naval Air Station's Dam Neck Annex. But this would be an odd way of communicating that desire.

At any rate, until I hear otherwise, I'm just going to assume that Ken Cuccinelli wants to make love to Osama bin Laden in hell. Keep calm and carry on!

UPDATE: 10:43 AM -- It may be that Cuccinelli is referencing a (very poorly written) joke. In which case, here are some suggestions for "best practices" on Twitter. First, it's "Virginians." Second, you might want to include a link to the joke in your tweet, so that people don't think you've taken complete leave of your senses.

but I thought the Tea Party has already deflowered him? Does he want to be recycled as a virgin again? And again? Weird guy.

OK, I've only read one page of the responses here, but -- you all know that Leno and Letterman are going to be stealing everything you wrote, right? Be sure to take a bow.

Didn't he get rid of anti-gay discrimina­tion laws in Virginia state government­? Their hypocrisy in unbelievab­le.

Rest assured, Ken Cuccinelli never had any senses to take leave of.

What's comical is that the joke he is referring to talks about historical Virginians expressing their support for America vis a vis our federal government -- something Cuccinelli has been ardently opposed to from day one.

he can blame it on his "degree" from the Christian "Universit­y" he went to

What's the joke?

Also,if it is intended to be a joke, it seems to me that it's below the bar of profession­alism for a state AG.

Any American man who has a crush, indeed wants to BE with, Bin Laden, should be on the terror watch list pronto. Or better yet, why don't we send Kookinelli to the bottom of the Arabian to make his wish come true?

Rather sad that the Attorney General of a state cannot spell the name of that state.
