Remember the rules

Reading about John Edwards and what he thinks Jesus would think of us, I remembered the rule. You know the rule, don’t you? You can talk about Jesus and religion all you want, if you’re a liberal Democrat. That’s cool. But if you’re a conservative Republican, you are a dangerous theocrat, about to torch the Constitution.
Remember when Jesse Jackson used his Democratic-convention speech to liken Vice President Quayle to Herod? Very, very cool. But any word out of Jerry Falwell’s mouth — incredibly uncool.
You simply have to remember the rules. And there are lots of them, such as, “You can be against a war if you haven’t served in the military, but you can’t support a war if you haven’t served in the military.” Unless President Clinton is going into Haiti because Randall Robinson is hunger-striking. Or whatever.
Anyway . . . you remember the rules, you’ll get along in this country jes’ fine.

I am so amazed by the womanly smartness this blog captures (or sometimes, as in this case, not). Anyway, how have I not known about this place for so long? Honey, listen to me, Christians and Jews mix like oil and water, you know that as well as I do, and don’t forget it. They’ll come for you on some trumped up whatever-charge and sweep you off to detention like nobody’s business. How many times has it happened before? How Many? You’re better off sticking with your own and the traditions of human-kindness they tried to teach you when you were young(er).
I am amazed people can still breathe with all the belladona they are spewing out of their mouths.
John Edwards is a half-wit for so many reasons, I hope he stays in this thing, he’s really a lot of fun.
This is the guy who babbles about “two Americas” remember - from the front porch of his 26,000 square foot house, with its own helicopter landing pad, and separate 4,000 foot beach house. He’s a beauty.
But to invoke Jesus from that same front porch, pretty good stuff. What did he get his best grades in at law school, Effrontery?
Because Jesus’ route took him through post-tsunami Indonesia, where he often saw fourteen people living in a single room, and this guy has a house 26,000 square feet for two people? Why aren’t the Indonesians living here?
While you’re invoking Jesus, you shining member of the highly respected and loved trial bar, you might want to remember the bit about how it’s harder for a rich man to get into heaven than it is to get a camel through the eye of a needle.
This guy really is a beauty. We need him, though, he’s a lot of laughs.
