VOICE ON AL JAZEERA TAPE BELIEVED TO BE RICH LITTLE
Evidence That Comedian/Impressionist May Be Alive
A voice on an Al Jazeera network audiotape purported to be that of Osama bin Laden may actually belong to comedian/impressionist Rich Little, CIA analysts believe.
The CIA experts listened to the audiotape over and over before determining that the voice was Mr. Little rather than bin Laden or the impressionist Frank Gorshin, famous for his portrayal of The Riddler on the classic Batman TV series.
This tape offers fairly conclusive proof that Rich Little is alive, a CIA official said today.
If the voice on the audiotape does in fact belong to Rich Little, the tape represents an ominous shift in strategy for the longtime Vegas entertainer, the CIA official cautioned.
In the past, Rich Littles bread-and-butter imitations have been Richard Nixon and Johnny Carson, he said. If hes starting to imitate Osama bin Laden, this could mean that hes finally decided to update his act.
The CIA official would not comment on speculation that Rich Little might be planning to add George W. Bush and Regis Philbin to his portfolio of impressions, saying only, We will be watching this situation very closely.
In other news, the CIA threw cold water on press reports that bin Laden appears briefly at the end of the latest raunchy Girls Gone Wild videotape.
The CIA official said that the person on the tape was not bin Laden, but rather a Florida State sorority sister who bears a striking resemblance to bin Laden.
At the Augusta National Golf Club, chairman Hootie Johnson said today the all-male club would stick to its policy of excluding women from membership, even if they look like Osama bin Laden.
