Slacktivist

Fred Clark is the author of a great blog called Slacktivist. It is best known for Fred's weekly analysis of the Left Behind books, sometimes only covering a couple of pages. He describes both the poor theology and the terrible writing of LaHaye and Jenkins.

Today, he looked into the future to share with us a news story that is sure to be written next week featuring McCain campaign manager Rick Davis.

... Davis, visibly shaken and with tears in his eyes, reiterated the McCain campaign's demand for an apology.

"Thousands of older Americans suffer from this same condition," Davis said. "So when Mr. Obama says, 'Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining' this is a vicious slur not only on Sen. McCain, but also on tens of millions of older Americans."

Obama, for his part, insisted his comment had not been intended as a personal attack on his Republican rival.

"I don't see how that can be taken as ageist," Obama said. "It's a colloquialism, something my grandmother used to say back in Kansas. And anyway I didn't even know until today that Sen. McCain suffered from this condition."

"John McCain was a POW," Davis reminded reporters. "Leave John McCain aloooooooooone!"

Asked if he would have chosen his words more carefully had he known about his opponent's condition, Obama shrugged. "Depends," he said.

This prompted further demands for an apology ...
