$150,000 $175,000 Bounty For Obama-Khalidi Tape

Dirty Harry's Place publishes a sizable bid by one Aston Grimaldi for a copy of the video of Barack Obama toasting anti-Israel "scholar" and former PLO adviser Rashid Khalidi at his Jew-bashing going away party in 2003.  The L.A. Times is resisting a whole lot of pressure (and any semblance of integrity or objectivity) in refusing to release the tape, but perhaps this wad of cash will manage to pry it loose.  Maybe a staff member who's beginning to suspect he won't have a job much longer anyway decides it's time to look out for himself.  Or maybe the original source opts to cash in by duping another copy for Mr. Grimaldi.

Something tells me this is going to work.  It's a shame that the media needs to be bribed into doing its job, but to be fair, they do really like this guy.

Update: Newt Gingrich also thinks this is the way to get it done.

Update: Dirty Harry reports the total bounty is now $175,000.
