Back in 2006 I(pam) blogged about Rev. Rob Schenck's freakshow ("Holy greasing of the wheel, er, ass for the Alito hearings"). As reported in the WSJ at the time:
Capitol Hill police barred them from entering the room to continue what they called a consecration service. But in a bit of one-upsmanship, the three announced that they had let themselves in a day earlier, touching holy oil to the seats where Judge Alito, the senators, witnesses, Senate staffers and the press will sit, and praying for each of the 13 committee members by name.

"We did adequately apply oil to all the seats," said the Rev. Rob Schenck, who identified himself as an evangelical Christian and as president of the National Clergy Council in Washington.

Here we go with the batsh*ttery again...From David Brody of CBN News:
The Christian group "Faith and Action in the Nation's Capitol" has made its way to Capitol Hill and Supreme Court Nominee Sonia Sotomayor might be interested in what they did. They blessed the doors of Senate Hart Building Room 216 with prayer and oil because they believe this will be the room most likely used for her confirmation hearing which begins July 13th.

2. They adequately applied oil?

Were they expecting a good ol' Mazola wrasslin match? I didn't think they would like oil wrestling but then again if it included Senators and Scalito I don't think I would either.

Damn but these fundies are nuts, absolutely shot through the head nuts.

3. Lunatic. He's probably hoping she'll slip and break her other ankle.

Sorry, but I don't trust Fundies' motives.

4. They should arrest the scum quats for vandalism.

And in the meantime they need to do an exorcism or have a witch doctor remove the evil spirits Schenck brought in.

5. Hope it was Olive Oil...

lower in calories and fat, with a delicious nutty taste...

6. Why would anyone care about this? It has no effect except to generate attention,

and one learns nothing by noticing it. If these people want to criss-cross the US oiling doors and chairs, why should I care?
