(2007-11-08) — Charismatic conservative evangelical television star Pat Robertson yesterday endorsed thrice-married, Roman Catholic, pro-choice, gay rights advocate Rudy Giuliani for president. In addition to “financial and moral support”, Mr. Robertson pledged to “pray for the miraculous second coming of Rudy’s hair.”
Not to be outdone, Pope Benedict XVI early today announced his backing of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton’s White House bid.
The Pope said his endorsement of Sen. Clinton is part of his overall “outside-the-box strategy to reach out to Muslims, Jews and pro-choice, gay rights advocates who ride the political coattails of their adulterous husbands.”
“When I heard that Pat had endorsed Rudy,” the Pontiff said, “I thought I might employ the same strange-bedfellows tactic to shake up the Democrat race.”
The Pope said that he would have come out for Sen. Clinton earlier, but in the political realm the Vatican traditionally observes a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.
Meanwhile, actress Shirley MacLaine today affirmed her longstanding support of Democrat presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich.
“I first endorsed Dennis several million years ago,” Ms. MacLaine said, “when he was a dwarf jungle frog and I was an emerald tree python in the Amazon rain forest.”

Absolute classic!!! I’m still laughing at the Dennis Kucinich/Shirley MacLaine reference. What is it that Rush always says, that true humor has to have an element of truth in it?
Mindknumbed Kid, I see that your post #41 on the previous thread completely went over the head of our resident genius troll Everthink. Just goes to prove that when it comes to trolls their BDS overrides everything.
Rapturous regards,

What I want to know is, who are the Scientologists endorsing?

Hmmmm, and there’s little question that most of the dead people will support a Democrat in ‘08.

Morons. They’re too stupid to realize what they’ve just proven to the rest of America.

“when he was a dwarf jungle frog and I was an emerald tree python in the Amazon rain forest.”
Proof that the ‘evolutionists are all wet. If there was any validity to their theory then he wouldn’t still be a dwarf jungle frog and she wouldn’t still be an emerald tree python, with due apologies to the frogs and snakes of the world of course.

egospeak - ET gave me a chuckle to start my day today,I never claimed to be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but now I wonder how much more you have to dumb things down to allow the pesky troll to get it.
Speaking of someone that “gets it”, I wonder how old Slick Willey is doing with Hillary out so often on th campaign trail….to be followed in short order by the campaign trial.

I’ve heard of the Pope, but does any here even know who Pat Robertson is?

When Den was a Dwarf Frog
To” When You Wore a Tulip”
When Den was a Frog,
A Dwarf Jungle Frog,
And Shirl was a big Green Snake,
He croaked ,”Surely ,Shirley,
You’ll be my girly,
And you’ll ante up my stake?”
“With you in my corner,
I’m just like Jack Horner,
My Plum Thumb really starts to shake,
You face is hard as a log .
When I am a Dwarf Frog ,
And you are an Emerald Snake.”
