Rick Perry (again)

The Shoot-From-the-Lip jackass from Texas has struck again:

...he was asked: "To what extent do you view America's continued protection of Israel as a theological priority?" He answered:
"Well, obviously, Israel is our oldest and most stable democratic ally in that region. That is what this is about. I also as a Christian have a clear directive to support Israel. So from my perspective, it's pretty easy. Both as an American and as a Christian, I am going to stand with Israel."
Great! What a gift to Islamic extremists: connect America with Israel in a holy crusade against Islam, just what bin Laden was attempting and what Bush (to his credit) resisted throughout his presidency. This guy, and his christianist extremism, is a real danger to the country and the world. I hope he doesn't shut his mouth, though: the more he talks, the more he reveals about himself, the less likely he will be elected.
