After momentarily retracting his anti-gay comments wherein he had blamed gays for Hurricane Katrina's destruction of New Orleans - probably because he is causing John McCain to have to defend him - Boss Hogge look alike, John Hagee, is once again running his mouth and back to gay baiting and what some might construe as race baiting. To demonstrate that they are not closet case racists, I hope Tim Russert and cohorts report on Hagee's latest case of diarrhea of the mouth and McCain's embrace of Hagee's endorsement. Here are highlights from the Dallas Morning News:*
In a conference call with religious supporters, Hagee denounced Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for pressing a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians. He called it "a cheap political ploy" aimed at "making Condoleezza Rice a vice presidential candidate and building a midnight legacy for George Bush."

Hagee also defended himself against charges he's anti-Catholic. . . . Critics say Hagee called the Catholic Church "the great whore" and said Katrina hit New Orleans because of a planned gay-rights parade. Hagee blamed the flap over his "great whore" comments on a "man trying to raise money for the Catholic League." That would be Catholic League President Bill Donahue. Hagee says he was denouncing the apostate church, both Catholic and Protestant.

When a woman on the call asked why he seemed to have backed away from his Katrina comments in face of criticism, Hagee said he hadn't. As for the Katrina, he said he said, God controls hurricanes and "God always punishes unconfessed sin." You do the math.
