Jonathan Edwards for VP

Yes, I think that Johnathan Edwards would make a great VP. Not for Kerry mind you, but for Bush and not Senator John Edwards, but noted author and preacher Johnathan Edwards. Oh, he's been dead for sometime, but I mean Cheny has his health problems too. With a buzz about McCain as the hot cross-over ticket, Bush could achieve a masterful counter stroke by digging up Ol' Reverend Edwards. The benefits are two-fold. First, moderates like me could potentially be confused into thinking it is Senator Edwards and throw our votes to a seemingly balanced ticket. The Religious Right would of course understand that the man a heartbeat away from the presidency is none other than the famous author of "Sinner's in the Hands of an Angry God" which could serve as both a domestic policy statement and a new foriegn policy. I quote "That world of misery, that lake of brimstone, is extended abroad under you. There is the dreadful pit of the glowing flames of the wrath of God...and you have nothing to stand upon...; there is nothing between you and Hell but the air" Orange Alert! (Wink)

Tisk-Tisk...

Rev. Edwards is actually quite the brilliant theologian. His works on cultivating the Fruits of the Spirit are among the best on this rather complex topic in all of Christendom.

On the other hand, Bush wouldn't be the first to have a non-living running mate... Clinton was elected twice with one!
 
Great Comment and I fully concur. Understanding and appreciating Johnathan Edwards is very important to understanding some unique aspects of American Culture such as the always hot topic of Religion in Politics and our fascination with yet squeemishness towards the more carnal pursuits. Glad to see you took the comment for what it was meant to be...
