YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP

We’ve all heard of “limousine liberals.” It seems a fellow attending a recent event for Sen. Lieberman’s left wing primary challenger apparently belongs to a subset of that amusing category:
One guy joked that he wanted to bring a sign reading Westville Jews for Lamont. Another drove away in a Mercedes plastered with the decals liberalslikechrist.org and jesusnorepublican.org. In between are an awful lot of secular humanists. They’re all fed up with Sen. Joe Lieberman. And they’re all backing Lieberman’s opponent, Greenwich businessman Ned Lamont, in the Democratic primary this August.
The “jesusnorepublican” decal reminds me of the old joke about a young Republican driving his elderly Democrat grandmother to the polls on Election Day. Exasperated by her unfailing support for the Democrats the man sighs and says to her “Grandma, if Jesus Himself was the Republican candidate, I don’t think you would vote for him.” To which the grandmother responds: “That’s nonsense. Why would He change His party after all these years?”
As for the other decal, I’m sure there are many liberals who do like Christ. And their Mercedes’.
