Pelosi: "I Can't Imagine" McCain Wouldn't Reject Hagee Endorsement
As Nico Pitney reports, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), a Catholic, denounced televangelist John Hagee during a blogger conference call today, saying that Hagee's harangues against the Catholic Church (among other things) are "outside the circle of civilized debate in our democracy."
When a blogger on the call asked about Hagee, Pelosi rejected him out of hand and seemed convinced that "it won't be long" before McCain rejected Hagee too.
It had to be pointed out to her that McCain, in fact, had sought out Hagee's endorsement. She seemed genuinely surprised by that, said that she "certainly" thinks that McCain should reject it, and then added "I can't imagine that he wouldn't reject it."

That's funny, I can imagine it.

He doesn't need a Hagee recommendation anymore... he's got a much better one from Hillary.
What I would like to see is a headline:

Easy win for McCain. With enemies like this, who needs friends?
BTW, I saw him called McBush somewhere today. I like that a lot better than McSame.
Oh yeah, once again I had to reset my password just to make a post. Every time I reset my password, I get another email telling me to reset my password. Then I have at most a day to actually participate here. It never stops.

She seemed genuinely surprised that St. John sought this nut's endorsement? Doesn't she read at least one lousy newspaper? Don't her aides? Has she heard of the internet? Have her aides?
Does she talk to them? Do they talk to her?
I've known this since this disgraceful issue started and it's not my job.
Why am I surprised about this, but, when I think about it for a very few seconds, not genuinely surprised?

Besides giving his support, Hagee is also giving McCain 2 Free Tickets to the Rapture.

I just think the Rapture Right thinks that Senator Wackadoo will spend his mandate with one of them . . .
They are still stinging from Bush coyly kissing Bandar and strolling hand in hand up to the Camp David cabin.
Too bad for the Rapturians, McCain already has a saucy nightie picked out for Charlie Black.

This shows exactly why she does not deserve the leadership position she holds. how can she be suprised by the GOP cudling with fundie wackos? That is what they do!
