Harry Reid Under Theological Control

At a press conference today, Senator Reid invokes his religious leader of choice to critcize the war.  No, not President Hinckley, but the Pope:

As the pope has said, it’s a slaughter. Those are not Harry Reid ’s words or Jack Reed’s words or some Democratic operative. They are the pope. The spiritual leader of more than a million people says to everyone that’s listening to his voice and he is — he presides over more than a billion people, and many more have great respect for him. And he is saying there’s a slaughter in Iraq. Those are his words. And nothing good is coming from Iraq.

The president should understand that it’s not just the Democratic Congress that is crying out for a change in direction. It’s the pope.

Sigh… I loathed living in Nevada.

I appreciate NRO’s “I can think of some other issues I’d like the Democratic Congress to take the pope’s lead on.” comment.

Hi Hugh! I was pleasantly surprised to see your comment. How’s your finger?

The thing that I don’t get is this: I thought that people were worried that mormon politicians take their directions from Salt Lake. Wasn’t it JFK who was supposed to be getting direction from Rome?
