Reports are that Network's Sister Simone Campbell (of Nuns on the Bus fame) will be giving the benediction to the Democratic National Convention next week, the night before (WTF!?!) Cardinal Timothy Dolan (of Pedophiles Anonymous) will be giving his benediction to the Convention. Dolan, of course, is giving the benediction to the Rethug Convention tonight, so it raises questions in our minds why would the Democratic Party want to give this slug a place of honor at the podium given the giant carbuncle he's been to the Obama Administration on contraception and same-sex marriage? As Andrew Sullivan rightly pegged him, he's the Republican Party's Cardinal, a "Catholic pol." Was Pat Robertson not available? James Dobson?
Anyone who's heard the great Sister Simone would know you don't need any one else blessing you, least of all Dolan. I can't wait to see the reactions of the Democratic delegates when he slips in a few lines about contraception and traditional marriage. Rest assured the media will have their cameras in the delegates faces to record the scowls and raspberries. Makes for great counter-messaging, dumbass DNC!
