The goodies from Rick Warren's meet-and-greet with Jesus just keep getting better.

First there was his cone of not-exactly silence.

Then there was his fake POW story.

And now it's revealed that one of the three wise people he knows who he would consult - Rep. John Lewis - is someone he has no relationship with.

This actually was interesting, but I don't see how it merits its own thread. Why couldn't this go on the Political News and Notes thread?
 
Because Obama's press agent thinks every time some asshole has something bad to say about McCain, it's breaking news.
 
I really hate to agree with Lyman, but I gotta agree with Lyman here.












And now I'll go take a shower.
 
Isn't it time for Fenian to admit he came back to the board as "spinning27"?

I wouldn't blame you if you used industrial-strength soap. :)

I think you guys get so caught up in stuff posted by Spinning that you sometimes overlook the actual ... well ... stuff.

Because it's pretty interesting to me that the guy McCain cites as one of the three wisest people he knows, and would consult on as president, says this:

In response to McCain's latest invocation of his name, Rep. Lewis said in a statement requested by Mother Jones, "I cannot stop one human being, even a presidential candidate, from admiring the courage and sacrifice of peaceful protesters on the Edmund Pettus Bridge or making comments about it." But, he added, "Sen. McCain and I are colleagues in the US Congress, not confidantes. He does not consult me. And I do not consult him."

I mean, seriously, if he's going to consult with him as president, why hasn't he ever ... you know ... consulted with him in congress? One of the three wisest people he knows?

Dude, are you for real? Are you paid by the Obama campaign? You talked about being choked up watching McCain Saturday night. I know why you were choking, and it didn't have anything to do with McCain.

Yes, and now you can be confident knowing you did your part to elect St. John. McCain Points are heading your way.

I'm not voting for McCain.

Spinning is...Larry Sinclair.

Fenian's heds are upstyle. Ain't he.
I didn't think I needed to put that in blue. Guess I was wrong.

One the negative side, Fenian is more long-winded than spinning27. On the positive side, he's much more eloquent and much, much, more interesting.

Hell, we rarely agreed on anything, but I miss his presence here. I will never miss spinning's presence should he leave.
 
You can just hear the conversation on the cell in the motorcade...........

Rick Davis: One of the questions is name 3 wise people.

McCain: Help, Rick. What do I say?

Rick Davis: Stay the hell away from Bush.

McCain: What about Cindy?

Rick Davis: Admitting you listen to your wife? You'll **** off the base.

McCain: James Dobson?

Rick Davis: You'll **** off the independents.

McCain: Hurry up, Rick! I'm almost there.

Rick Davis: Go with a military guy, a woman, and a minority.

McCain: What minority? I can't say Powell, he's about to endorse Obama. HURRY UP.

Rick Davis: How about John Lewis, yeah, just go with John Lewis.
 
While being tormented in Vietnam, John McCain had the ability to name members of Pittsburgh's famed Steel Curtain, duping Charlie into thinking they were his squadron mates.

If Capt. McCain had that kind of uncanny foresight some five years before the rise of the Steelers, just imagine the kind of foresight President McCain will bring to this country!

Are you trying to say that McCain - a POW - makes stuff up to pander to his audience?
 
Oh, Jesus ****ing Christ, man!

When spnited says he's had enough of your **** about something like this, it's time to ****ing go. Now, go post on Obama's Web site, or something.

Goddamnit!
