Line of the Day
March 24, 2008
James Carville, an adviser to
Clinton's presidential campaign and a CNN political analyst, said this
week that [New Mexico Governor Bill] Richardson's Obama endorsement
"came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for
30 pieces of silver."
Asked to comment, Jesus declined. “I’m here today to
talk about my message of peace, not to get involved in American
electoral politics,” the Savior demurred when asked about the
issue on “Face the Nation.” The messiah was making
the rounds of the Sunday talk shows to promote his new book “Read
the Gospels, Dammit” described as a mixture of self-help, diet
and business-management advice. Subtitled “Yes, I really
did mean it the first time, even the hard parts,” the sequel has
shown disappointing sales, which prompted the resurrected author to
make a rare appearance on broadcast TV.
Not all of the exchanges were that civil. Tim Russert spent the
entire 20-minute segment on “Meet the Press” asking Jesus
if he would accept the vice-presidency if offered it by any
candidate. Visibly angry after the third repetition by Russert
of “You say your kingdom is not of this world, but I
didn’t hear you say No,” the Son of God smote Russert with
boils and an aging viewer base.
The Nazarene appeared more comfortable on “This Week” with
George Stephanopolous, jesting with the host about the latter’s
youthful thoughts of following his father into the Greek Orthodox
Priesthood. “Let me tell you, going into the family
business has its downside,” the Prince of Peace
wisecracked.
The most interesting question of the day may have been posed by Larry
King, who brought the conversation around to the Carville quote again
by asking if Jesus had forgiven Judas, asking if the magnitude of the
latter’s sin were greater than the magnitude of Jesus’s
allegedly infinite compassion. “Without giving anything
away,” Jesus replied with a wink to the camera,
“Let’s just say that regardless of what has happened to
Judas, Rush Limbaugh better be worried.” Warning!
