Does bin Laden Read Magnificent Bastard?

Does bin Laden Read Magnificent Bastard?
While the New York Times's Maureen Dowd hilariously mocks Osama bin Laden's new-look beard, suggesting it's a fake one "left over from Woody Allen's Bananas," it's clear he's spending as much time refining his style as he is plotting the next terrorist attack. We're not crazy about the obviously Just For Men-enhanced look, but if a cave-dwelling jihadist cares about his appearance, shouldn't you, too?
