'I'M INTO GOD AND STUFF"

Last week, Howard Dean said that he was going to introduce more religion into his stump speeches. This came as quite a shock to a lot of us, because this is the man who chastised the South for making election all about, "...race, guns, God and gays” and who showed the Religious convictions so strong he left the Episcopal Church over a bike path.

Obviously, a focus group told him that his secular image was hurting him, so he found that old time religion. He also is an idiot.

On Friday, Howard was spouting off about religion when he said this:

"If you know much about the Bible — which I do — to see and be in a place where Christ was and understand the intimate history of what was going on 2,000 years ago is an exceptional experience," he said.

Asked his favorite New Testament book, Dr. Dean named Job, adding: "But I don't like the way it ends." "Some would argue, you know, in some of the books of the New Testament, the ending of the Book of Job is different," he said. "I think, if I'm not mistaken, there's one book where there's a more optimistic ending, which we believe was tacked on later."

You can’t make this stuff up!! He pats himself on the back by saying he knows a lot about the Bible and then says the Book of Job is in the New Testament. It took him and his staff of religious scholars OVER AN HOUR to realize Job is in the Old Testament. After that personal revelation, Dean scurried back to the reporters and said he “misspoke” and his favorite New Testament book was any of the Gospels.

I can just imagine him running back yelling, “My favorite New Testament book is any of those things near the end of the Bible, you know, with the red words and stuff?”

Imagine the firestorm of abuse if George Bush ever said something so stupid – Al Franken or Michael Moore would write a whole book about it. But, because it’s Dean, we get loyal Democrats unphased by the moronic comments.
