WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
Anything at All?

I wonder if the person or persons responsible for replacing anyone’s-family-values man Jack Ryan with Alan Keyes on the ballot for the open seat of outgoing U.S. Sen. Peter G. Fitzgerald (R-Ill.) still has a job.

The latest, and I mean just the latest of Keyes’s impolitic politics has been documented by, among other outlets, the Chicago Tribune (“ Jesus Wouldn’t Vote for Obama, Keyes Says,” by Liam Ford and David Mendell).

Quoting Keyes: “Christ would not vote for Barack Obama because Barack Obama has voted to behave in a way that it is inconceivable for Christ to have behaved.”

Keyes, we are to presume, has “the mind of Christ.” (I Cor., 2:16)

Funny thing, though, I recall from my reading of the scriptures that Jesus Christ cast out demons from the demented. Too bad he’s not wandering around Illinois these days. Or maybe that’s a good thing.
