More Post 9/11 Anniversary Blues: The End Times Hits Primetime

The Christian Chicken Littles keep plugging away at the disloyal, unwashed news consumers, and the Capital Hill gangs. "We have the Oval Office, the president is with us, give up, surrender to Jesus - Isreal needs our helicopters and cluster bombs, God wills it."

Matt Taibbi writes from Rolling Stone magazine one of the most hilarious, cut to the jaw bone of an ass pieces about the religious nut cases passing out the Beltway kool - aid today.

Hagee would be just another sweating evangelist lunatic if it weren't for the fact that his group has the ear of the White House. RNC chair Ken Mehlman took time out from bashing Ned Lamont to speak at CUFI's inaugural banquet in Washington in July, and both Sam Brownback and Rick Santorum also addressed the group. Meanwhile, Hagee at the banquet reportedly read out greetings from Ehud Olmert and George W. Bush himself, who apparently said, "God Bless and stand by the people of Israel and God Bless the United States." (FCF emphasis)
