New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson in his latest chapter of “Please pick me as Vice President” endorsed Barack Obama yesterday.
Clinton enabler James Carville called it “An act of betrayal.”
You have to love this quote given on Good Friday. I love it when politicians use Christ to make a political point. He said:
“[Bill] Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing is appropriate, if ironic.”
Never mind the fact that Carville has no more clue than Alanis Morrisette what the word “ironic” means, but think of the audacity to use Christ’s name to make a scheming political attack.

Well I can see Hillary as Pilate since the statement “what is truth” is so Clintonesque. Maybe Obama as Herod the Great, slaughter of the innocents and his opposition to the born alive infant protection act also go together. But then again pretty much most Democratic president wannabes can be a stand in for Herod the Great.
I guess you just didn’t get the irony of Alanis Morrisette not knowing what irony meant. Though I do remember how much that song annoyed me in it’s description of non ironic events.
By the way congrats on the best new blog. I hope you both will be around blogging for quite a while.

thanks jeff. Maybe we could set up a whole Passion play with Democratic candidates as stand-ins. I can’t pick who Dennis Kucinich would be unless the Bible has the Lollipop Guild.

I honestly never understood what Carville brings to the table, other than a big mouth and the ability to out-bludgeon others with it. I guess there’s one in every crowd.

Typically, the person with the least amount of morality will win a fight. Whoever kicks in the nether regions first usually wins. That’s why Carville is worth his weight in a campaign.
