Endorsementally Deranged

John McCain is no Jon Huntsman, that’s for sure.  Although both  of them were quick to denounce Richard Mourdock’s (Republican Senate  candidate from Indiana) statement, McCain walked it back today, saying he accepted Mourdock’s apology.  That’s pretty lame, even for enemy ace John McCain, because there wasn’t any apology.  There was the usual

Dick Moredick

Republican statement that “people took my words out of context”, but even that wasn’t true.  His words were quoted verbatim.  He said “I think that even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.”

So, God is a fucking rapist.  Great.  I think any girl who gets pregnant from rape should have the right to sue God.

Jon Huntsman also attacked Mourdock and also attacked Mitt Romney for supporting Mourdock, but he  stopped short of withdrawing his support of Mitt Romney.  Still not good enough, Jon.  If Romney backs Mourdock, he’s accepting that wing of the party (which includes Missouri’s Todd Akin and his own running mate Paul Ryan), that believes that women should just accept God’s will, inshallah, and bear that rapist’s spawn.  If Huntsman backs Romney, he is by extension accepting Mourdock et alii.

Come over to the side of the good guys, Jon.  You’d do well as a Democrat.  We actually find it admirable that you speak Mandarin.  As long as you are a Republican, you are siding with illiterate scumbags.

On the Democratic side, war criminal Colin Powell, who helped to sell the  big WMD lie, has endorsed Obama.  This will probably help Obama, because lots of people like and respect Colin Powell, people with  very short memories and a high  tolerance for bullshit.

So, I guess I’m just as bad as Jon Huntsman,  because I’m still supporting Obama even though some of his other supporters are dicks.

In  other endorsements:

We’ve got Honey Boo Boo.  They’ve got Lindsay Lohan.

We’ve got Bruce Springsteen.  They’ve got Ted Nugent.

We’ve got Chris Rock.  They’ve got Dennis Miller.

We’ve got Warren Buffett.  They’ve got Donald Trump.

We’ve got Brad Pitt.  They’ve got Clint Eastwood.

O.K., that last one’s a tie, but overall Obama is doing much, much better in the endorsement game.
