The Anchoress Sums Up The State of American Politics Quite Nicely

I am going to be doing a Huckabee for President update soon. My favorite Catholic blogger has a great post today. That is the Anchoress. I got to get the Catholic Godmother of the American Catholic Blogsphere starting to take notice of Huckabee more :).

She had a nice post here called There is an old joke…. Let me except a part. The bolding is mine.

In Politics: The president is “bad” because he goes to Iraq and uses the troops for political propaganda… Katie Couric is not bad even though she too uses a trip to Iraq (and the troops) for her own ratings propaganda, during which she cries “propaganda” at the military for only showing her what they want her to see while she stays in a gazillionaire’s lodgings…The election “season” is still too early and too long and too many of the candidates look like even with the extra rehearsal time, they won’t be ready for the big stage anytime soon…And global warming is going to kill us all…Hillary is getting daily tongue-baths (and so is her husband) from the adoring and incurious press who are not at all interested in any stories concerning any donors of hers who might have shady pasts…and if you mind that these donors are connected to other countries, either Asian or Middle Eastern, then you’re just a closed-minded and bigoted racist…and don’t ask Hillary or her campaign (or any other politician, really) about their private jet use, the environmental impact of mob-gathering, television kleig lights, and, no, no, no, don’t ask them if they’re buying carbon offset’s from Al Gore - do you really think any political campaign is going to spend their ill-gotten booty on that Hoo-ha? Just shaddup, stay off the subject and understand that even though global warming is going to kill us all, some people’s sheer goodness and “problem-solving brilliance” (and concerns for our mental health) is carbon-offset enough for all the environmental mayhem they and their ambition bring!

In other election news: All Democrat contenders not-named-Hillary (and all GOP candidates) are getting iffy press, if they get any at all…John Edwards is stomping around trying to look manly by promising to intrude on your life as much as possible; he wants to get inside your head and stay there…Al Gore is still playing the old Mario-Cuomo-as-Hamlet gambit, standing on the sidelines waiting to be dragged into the game…Fred Thompson is on the other side doing much the same, and boring the hell out of me while he does it…Gay Republicans who are in the closet and are caught being gay (and cheating on their spouses, if they’re married) are barely-admitted human beings who - along with their families - are to be shown zero mercy…Gays who are not conservative or Republican can be either in the closet or out, married or not and just as “caught” and that’s okay, because you know, (as with all sex-type scandals concerning politicians both gay and straight but originating from the left) it’s really the pol’s own business, it concerns just them and their families, and decent, thinking people understand that and will let it go. Only the mean, sex-obsessed folks on the right want to make hay about it…and oh yeah, there is still terrorism out there, but nobody’s really paying attention.
