Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

McCain courts another kooky preacher pal, which would give him a 3-1 lead over Obama in that category

In the beginning, Barack Obama had the redoubtable Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

John McCain, never one to be outdone, soon came up with his own inflammatory clergyman in the person of the notoriously anti-Catholic  Rev. John Hagee.

Then, while Obama was busy dealing with questions about Wright’s insensitive pulpit pronouncements, McCain stole a march by winning the support of the hateful Rev. Rod Parsley.

Lately, McCain has been working hard in quest of a two-kook lead in this dunderhead derby. He’s been whispering sweet nothings into the ear of another anti-Catholic standout, Tim LaHaye (above). And this guy’s anti-Jewish to boot.

LaHaye’s views are SO ODIOUS that he got canned from Jack Kemp’s campaign for the Republican presidential nomination 20 years ago.

The persistent lies and rumors about Barack Obama’s religious background are not unlike the GARBAGE that was thrown at John McCain eight years ago.

Bush wishes he was in the war himself

The Decider SAYS  it would be “a fantastic experience” to serve on the front lines.

He didn’t feel that way during the Vietnam War. 

When Bush signed up for the Texas Air National Guard in 1968, one of the questions he had to answer on his application forms was whether he wanted to go overseas. He checked the box that said: “DO NOT VOLUNTEER.”

(Full disclosure: I didn’t serve in the Vietnam War, either, but there was nothing hypocritical about it.  I was opposed to the war.  Bush was all for it, as long as somebody else did the fighting.)

Wild and crazy guys

THIS review of a new book about stand-up comedy only tangentially touches on politics, but it strikes me as worth your while.
