SO WHAT CAME OUT OF THIS WEEKEND'S RELIGIONIST RIGHT HATE FEST IN DC?

There was plenty of gratuitous gay bashing-- their # 1 obsession these days, especially transsexuals their latest target of opportunity-- even a handout eviscerating poor clueless Mike Huckabee for owning shares of Apple, known to this crowd as the gay computer company. Still Huck tied Full O'Mitt (who, as always, cheated to get his votes) as the preferred candidate of these, the most bizarre kooks in the political system. Maybe he won them over, despite his Apple shares and despite not have donned with a pillowcase or a tinfoil hat, with the appealing line "I come today not as one not who comes to you, but as one who comes from you." No doubt Giuliani, Romney, McCain and Frederick of Hollywood were already back at their hotel suites in their showers trying to scrub off the yuck.

But in the end thse 2,000 crazies are just part of the Grand Coalition of haters, bigots, racists, greedballs, the selfish, clueless, paranoid, closeted, xenophobic and deranged who make up today's Republican Party. They're finding out they can't dictate to it any longer. Those who just want to win at any cost-- the ones whose plush jobs depend on it-- are screaming that they should just forget that Giuliani is Satan, he's not as satanic as... the Mormon... not to mention Hillary, and they mist support him even if he does stand for everything they've been brainwashed into hating.

Gary Bauer, one of the self-proclaimed "leaders" of these pyschopaths knows his power will be considerably diminished if the Republicans are banished from the public trough where he has fattened immensely over the last 7 years. He was one of the advocates of a third party just a few weeks ago. The air seems to have gone out of that one rather fast.

"There was a moment of insanity about 18 months ago where we all thought that we could all agree," Bauer said. "But that is about as likely as herding cats." He added that if Giuliani won the nomination, he would be reluctantly willing to "lead a delegation" of pro-life leaders to see if they could reach some agreement that would allow religious voters to support the mayor. "Mayor Giuliani knows that he can't be president without us," Bauer added. "There is a lot of ground I think that we can stand on and negotiate and see if we can come up with something that is passable to everybody."

But the krazy glue that has held the crazy coalition together couldn't make it. He's in prison. So he sent his rabbi to remind the deranged participants of the good old days.

Perhaps the most surreal appearance came courtesy of the Rabbi Daniel Lapin, who declared "the bible is our blueprint," despite the fact that his organization, Towards Tradition, was used by convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff to funnel money secretly from an online gambling company to the wife of a convicted former advisor to the indicted former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

Tut tut... Bible, Buy Bull... it's always been all the same, in the end, to this, the Jimmy Dobson crowd.
