"On a hill far away..."*

AJC.com

Columbus — Georgia Republican Party chairwoman Sue Everhart said Saturday that the party's presumed presidential nominee has a lot in common with Jesus Christ.

"John McCain is kind of like Jesus Christ on the cross," Everhart said as she began the second day of the state GOP convention. "He never denounced God, either."

Everhart was praising McCain for never denouncing the United States while he was being tortured as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

McCain? Jesus on the cross?

After ten minutes of rolling on the floor laughing his ass off, taking some oxygen, wiping his tears, mopping his coffee out of the keyboard, and picking up everything he knocked over whilst falling out of his chair, your intrepid correspondent continues...

Well...lemme see now. Other than inviting the moneychangers into the temple, reserving the loaves and fishes for those who can afford them, changing beer into water instead of wine (have you ever drank Budweiser?), and a few hundred other things he's done just the opposite of WWJD, I got absolutely no problem with it.

Let's fast forward this deal. How about we have McCain's Good Friday this coming Friday? And since some of us have a mild sense of history, let's keep an eye on his tomb for a few days this time lest some prankster make off with his corpse when no one's looking. We've got 2000 years of seeing how well that went the last time.

Oh, and as far as McCain 'never denouncing the United States' whilst in the Hanoi Hilton, close but no cigar, lady. See also "Hanoi John: Manchurian Candidate?".

"On a hill far away
Stands an old rugged cross..."
