Although Bill Donahue’s reputation is such that he won’t be taken seriously by many non-Catholics, it is another piece of evidence that John Hagee’s endorsement benefits only John Hagee and not ordinary religious people. When Pat Robertson endorsed Rudy this was taken for granted.</p> This is outstanding.

LOL He was arrested, of course, but it got pretty weird here in Maine for weeks afterwards, because the amount of traffic dropped off, as well as, the amount of cars in parking lots at the shopping centers. Very strange indeed. It was almost like we “curfewed” ourselves. </p> <p>I know I was glued to the television and since 9/11 my television has been on so I don’t miss any breaking news (my television finally died last year and it was over 13 years old).</p> The morning of 9/11 when it was still happening some guy in downtown Portland decided to start shooting his gun off.

They don’t beat each other over the head with this kind of thing because they’d all accept the endorsement in a flash. And, obviously, Farrakhan is black, which is an unacceptable extreme: blacks are automatically on the fringe. Hagee is very acceptable in a world in which McCain is a “moderate”.</p> Since when was it a negative for a Republican to be supported by the lunatic right?

That Earl business seems to be pretty high up there. Pretty toney. Hope it comes with a castle of some kind.

You an earl, live in England among the gentry, or still hiding out in Sherwood Forest? Or have you become an American Earl?
