Scott Ott reports today on the latest political endorsements today as more surprises on the endorsement front continue…
(VATICAN) — 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.”
Pope Blesses HillaryNot 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 coat-tails 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.” – as reported by satirist Scott Ott / ScrappleFace

Such satire is dangerous tp Christians in today’s media bias. I think its likely that this will be misquoted, and/or the Pope and Rev. Robertson will be wrongly quoted in the lib. media; and/or Christian’s will be further made fun of.
I like the scriptural admonitions of “let your yes be yes, and your no be no”. Clear communication is important in these days of major concern about culture issues, and who supports and promotes what.
Thank you for your point of view. You may have difficulty understanding the nature of satire. It’s founded in perception and borders on sarcasm and frankly we leave it to the reader’s intelligence to discern between the two.
Or in other words…
The essential point, however, is that “in satire, irony is militant“. This “militant irony” (or sarcasm) often professes to approve values that are the diametric opposite of what the satirist actually wishes to promote.
