New Gene Lyons: Clown cars just keep on coming

To quote that great Imaginary-American Huckleberry Finn, “It would make a cow laugh” to see a cocky, wisecracking fly boy like Sen. John McCain pretending to heed the spiritual teachings of Rev. John Hagee, whose endorsement the GOP candidate avidly sought, accepted, then abruptly declined as his more preposterous views began to get attention.

Hagee’s the kind of fundamentalist swami who discerns messages in the weather. He declared Hurricane Katrina the Lord’s vengeance for a New Orleans gay-pride parade. Because, as we all know, the creator of this vast and swirling cosmos remains, like, totally creeped out by the sexual antics of his favorite primate species.

Except for preachers who get caught doing meth with hookers. Them he forgives.

Then there’s Sen. Barack Obama and the marginally less ridiculous Rev. Jeremiah Wright. To my knowledge, Wright refrains from soothsaying. But AIDS as a whiteinvented plague to kill Africans ? People, it doesn’t get much crazier than that. And Obama never knew ? Give Me a Break.

1. do tell

"Meanwhile, a Washington journalist I once respected has accused your humble, obedient servant here of being a clandestine operative of the dread Clinton machine"

apparently the "washington journalist" Gene once "respected" is now so unworthy of respect as to not even have their name mentioned? but then again, the afore(sort of)mentioned "journalist" couldn't be too smart, for there is nothing "clandestine" between Gene and the Clintons.
