Who knew 'The Shining' would work in a political endorsement?

C'mon, McCain, disavow the froot-loop preacher!

John McCain was quick to distance himself from an obnoxious radio host making cracks about Barack Obama before a campaign rally. He should be even quicker to distance himself from the endorsement of anti-Catholic televangelist John Hagee:

McCain released the following statement Friday:

"Yesterday, Pastor John Hagee endorsed my candidacy for president in San Antonio, Texas. However, in no way did I intend for his endorsement to suggest that I in turn agree with all of Pastor Hagee's views, which I obviously do not.

"I am hopeful that Catholics, Protestants and all people of faith who share my vision for the future of America will respond to our message of defending innocent life, traditional marriage, and compassion for the most vulnerable in our society."

Please, senator, make clear which views about which you disagree. Because I'm hopeful that all politicians who have a vision for the future of America will see that campaigning shouldn't include standing up with bigoted televangelists -- er, fundraisers who preach.

Just another reason to vote for McCain

Fidel Castro just wrote a five-part, lengthy series of drivel on why John McCain sucks...

McCain, Obama sweep Potomac primaries -- are you really shocked?

Obama office has Che banner on the wall

Ick!! This video from a TV station in Houston shows excited Obama volunteers opening offices in Houston the day after Super Tuesday. After word began to spread on blogs about the large Cuban flag with Che seen in the video (watch it here), the station added a disclaimer under the video: "The office featured in this video is funded by volunteers of the Barack Obama Campaign and is not an official headquarters for his campaign." However, it says in the video that paid Obama staff would be working the offices "by the end of the week."

It will be interesting to see if Obama would disassociate his campaign from a vicious murderer. There is nothing cool or revolutionary about Che (just ask some of those in Cuba's prisons today simply for exercising free speech or the principles of a free press), and if that's the kind of "change" these Obama volunteers seek for the United States, that's just scary.

What's the Moon campaign strategy now?

So I just had a thought: With presumed Sun Myung Moon favorite Mitt out of the race (remember, you read it here that Romney had a Moon operative on his National Faith and Values Steering Committee, and said operative was also a Romney donor), and presumed Moon soft-money foe McCain all but in, what will the Washington Times do? Just keep creepily theorizing about Obama's hypothetical assassination?

Well, here's my answer: The Times is now pitching Huckabee as the great spoiler destined to dash McCain's dreams, with the presumptuous headline "Huckabee on track to play the spoiler."

Poor Huck. Run while you can!! Methinks the Huckster is more concerned with getting a VP nod or Cabinet appointment than being a right-wing spolier pawn, anyway.

Mitt-canned!

And that completes my creative rhyming of the S-bomb...

Huckabee’s a fried-chicken oracle!

Why did Romney get whupped so badly? It was the KFC! Well, perhaps at least in part, if you look back at Mike Huckabee’s uncanny prediction from around the time of the Florida primary. You may remember that Mitt decided to be like real people and eat at a KFC even though his handlers wanted him to stop at Chili’s; after ordering a combo, Romney peeled off the skin and secret-recipe breading, then daintily ate the fried chicken with a plastic knife and fork. A Huck supporter caught video of the former Arkansas governor responding to the KFC faux pas, and Huck compared it to Gerald Ford’s tamale-construction ignorance. But Huckabee also joked that because of Mitt’s KFC faux pas, Huck would win “Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma.” As we all know now, he won four of the five.

Huckabee’s luck stops with the South, which is just as well: Colonel Sanders would probably demand a Cabinet appointment now.

Southern boy's a real Mitt-kicker

And that was the headline I couldn't use in the paper tonight...

Just another reason to vote for McCain

Said James Dobson of John McCain earlier:

"I cannot and I will not vote for Sen. John McCain as a matter of conscience. But what a sad and melancholy decision this is for me and many other conservatives. Should John McCain capture the nomination as many assume, I believe this general election will offer the worst choices for president in my lifetime."

Considering this is the same guy who cast a stone at Fred Thompson for supposedly not being Christian enough, I'd take that as a compliment. Also amusing in his statement, which was read on the Laura Ingraham show, was a complaint that McCain "often uses foul and obscene language."

I would have laughed for days if McCain had dropped an F-bomb on Holier-than-Fred Dobson in response to that, but they basically -- appropriately -- brushed it off.
