(Tim) Senator McCain asked for Pastor John Hagee's support in his presidential bid, and got it. Later, Roman Catholics sought to make Senator McCain's association with Pastor Hagee the same sort of liability Senator Obama had with Pastor Wright. Well, unlike Pastor Wright, Pastor Hagee knows how to backpedal.
Releasing this howler of an abject apology, the LA Times reported:
Pastor John Hagee, who heads the Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, said in a letter made public Tuesday that he now knew the terms he used to describe the church, such as "the great whore," were "rhetorical devices long employed in anti-Catholic literature."
I'm chuckling.
