Doctor Dobson's Fatwa On "Fruitcake Christianity."

Chronicle of a Journey from Youthful
Know-It-All to Old-Fart Astonishment.

Give some credit my professional colleague and fellow USC Trojan Alumnus already!
The Author/Psychologist Dobson didn't call Barack Obama an undercover Agent and Mole for Osama bin Laden and Islam. Not so far anyway.

Look, it's June. The "totally unacceptable" presumptive GOP nominee might repent. Then suck-up to Dobson so abysmally that the Ayatollah of Colorado Springs may call upon his Divisions of Evangelical Lemmings to get out and vote! Votes with Noses Held count just like the Enthusiastic kind. The deal, as always, will come down to what Jim Dobson can get John "The Maverick" McCain to give him.

Mighty visions of the late, sainted Richard Daley were beheld by each of them! Even though a recent Pew national poll reveals 83% of all Americans believe in an afterlife of some sort, they also believe that no one form of religious faith has "The Answer" to the truth. If my memories of Auther/Psychologist Dobson serve (As previously noted in this Blog, Dobs was two-years ahead of me at USC Grad School. Our interactions then
are best be described as "The Cue-Ball glancing off the Eight-Ball.") hard-core American Theocrats will be happy with a Dobson-fueled McCain administration. Even that's gonna last as long as the average bubble http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/religion/stories/062408dnrelpewstudy.2f6d9020.html from your kid's plastic Bubble-Maker.

Rumors of McCain pleading health and dropping out persist. Any notion of Straight-Talk taking a dive for the Party seems lifted from Pulp Fiction
with Ving Rhames and Bruce Willis Marsellus: In the fifth, your ass goes down. Say it. Butch: In the fifth, my ass goes down. Not hardly, I say.
http //www.boxofficetrailer.com/Crime/Pulp- Fiction.html. But I also said no way Karl Rove doesn't do time for perjury in the Valerie Plame Case. In Pat Fitzgerald's dreams! And mine. Who figures Vivica Novak (no relation to Crazy Bob) tips off Turd-Blossom's lawyer accidentally. A Ronald Reagan-style memory cramp ensues. Rove skates away, easy as a Dick Button toe loop. A Double Toe Loop is a spin done in a spiral or arabesque position, where the free leg is vertical to the ice. In a toe loop, the skater jumps from the forward toe position, changes feet, and spins on the other leg in a back toe loop. Performing a Toe Loop is thrilling for a skater. Pat Fitzgerald is a stronger, better human being than I for his ability to just walk away from that snake-pit without screaming nor saying any word I know of about Dick Cheney's US jurisprudence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viveca_Novak.

So John McCain's this out-of-control blow-top Senator who boinked a Cindy McCain look-alike during 2000. Whose temper fits scare the BeJeebus outta the Joint Chiefs of Staff should his fingers ever get near the Red Phone.

Scuse me if I don't buy into the Huffington Post's
inside dope about about McCain's drop-out in favor of some Cotton Mather wannabe cut more to James Dobson's or John Hagee's jib. I'd compare McCain's style or lack thereof to 1950s heavyweight champ Rocky Marciano. Rock never weighed 200-lbs
had no style, short arms, wasn't pretty and punched like a sledge with either fist. In 42 fights Rock won them all by KO or TKO. He quit undefeated, was a paranoid miser with umpteen bank accounts in false names. Decades after his plane crash death they're
still being found. Got the idea about McCain now?

What's comforting to me is not all pro-Obama writers think Barack is a slam-dunk. Or McCain being "cast-out" by James Dobson is just the Fruit-Cake apparitif. I'd be damn worried. But that's me.
