Reverend Moon's Senate 'coronation'

I think that Rev. Moon's 'coronation' in the Senate office building is both wacky and emblematic of how both parties kowtow to religious crackpots if they have money. But what realy slayed me is that Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R) was quoted as saying of Rev. Moon's newspaper, the ultra-conservative Washington Times, "I'm delighted that we have a middle-of-the-road paper in Washington." Now I know that the man is insane. If the Times is centrist, Ghengis Khan was a communist.

Keep an ear to ground on this story; a Senator was required to sponsor the event under Senate rules, and the name of that sponsor has not yet been released. That information belongs to the public and will come out. Then we'll see who the real wack-job in the Senate is.
