(Senator) Warner (R-Va) Moon-ed: 'I've seen better,' he says
. . .

To be sure, Sen. Warner was not only lawmaker who got mooned this time; about 12 of our congressional plutocracy, the highest paid public servants since the Roman Empire, were likewise exposed.

Being a Virginia gentleman, Sen. Warner tried to keep his mooning a secret for as long as possible, hoping to avoid the kind of tabloid embarrassment that defines political journalism today. Frontally, The Washington Post kept the story off of the front page, as they are still reeling from criticism of their handling of the Cheney F-word confrontation, and the Paris Hilton video. Personally, I think the Post should have played the full moon and all on front page, with a picture.

. . .

That is to say, Rev. Sun Myung Moon mooned Sen. Warner at a ceremony in the Senate office building. Sen. Warner is not complaining, since he set up the meeting at the request of Virginia constituent.

Moreover, this mooning was not your usual mooning. Everyone kept on the their clothes. Instead, Mr. Moon had a ceremony were he "declared himself the Messiah and said his teachings have helped Hitler and Stalin be 'reborn as new persons,' according to the Post story this week.

Talk about Warner being red-faced! Imagine, the party of family values and Pat Robertson, to mention Mel Gibson, politically bowing before Rev. Moon.

1. If I lived in Virginia...
Next time this guy is up for re-election I'd be running against him in a heartbeat. My campaign slogan: "I serve the people...Warner serves a false Messiah" How could I lose?
