“Officially Ridiculous”

Kathryn Jean Lopez at National Review Online calls our attention to Congressman Steve Cohen (Democrat, Tennessee) who has taken to the floor of the House of Representatives to persuade us to vote for Senator Obama. Senator Obama you see was, like Jesus, a community organizer. Pontius Pilate, on the other hand, was a Governor. This trope has been kicked around the political world for a few days, but now, at last, it makes the Congressional Record. You can’t make this stuff up. See for yourself !
