Roy Moore: unclear on the concept

[ceo_esq]

Moore has now offered the infamous monument to Congress for the purpose of permanent display at the U.S. Capitol building.

(Meant to put this in P&CE, but goofed.)

 

[Suddenly]

He's very clear on the concept: "Keep your name in the papers as long as possible." If nothing else he's going to cash in on lecture fees from the fundies once he gets bounced from politics.

Wait a minute, wasn't this goofball, or at least his supporters, arguing that putting in the state courthouse was okay since the establishment clause ONLY applied to the federal government??

How did this man become a judge?

 

[Ipecac]

Moore met with several members of Congress last week in Washington to discuss public displays of the Ten Commandments, said his spokeswoman Jessica Atteberry. She declined to identify the lawmakers.

Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby issued a statement calling on Congress to accept Moore's "gracious offer."

Gracious offer. What an idiot.

Oh, I think he understands the concept just fine. And when his generous offer is refused (duh!!), he will use this refusal in his campaign as a good reason why he is needed in Washington - to combat all those “gutless” lawmakers.

It's ALL politics w/ this guy.

Same w/ the Alabama Senator - what harm is there in proposing something that plays well w/ the home folks when you know that the likelihood of passage is nil?

It's a no lose situation - and - he kisses up to a guy who may end up being his colleague in the near future.

Barkhorn.

Hmm... a ceo_esq post that doesn't defend religion regardless of context.

Hmm....Upchurch doesn't follow the crowd and posts something entirely unique.

Upchurch makes a checkmark in his little mauve book ...and winces with sudden realization and erases the checkmark.

As much as Moore is a hypocrite, does anyone know if his ploys are working?

 

[Yahweh]

If that Moore fella had the least bit of common sense, he'd just do the smart thing and auction the monument on Ebay...

Of course he doesnt have a habit of showing common sense, he'd do something stupid with the money like investing it into Intelligent Design research...

Thhe shipping will cost more than the monument! Did you read about all the trouble they had originally moving it around, and how they store it in a basement so it won't strain the floor?!?!

That's true, but some might consider it a piece of history and pay the big bucks.

I wonder if you could pass of small pieces of rock as a "shard" of the monument and sell it in Alabama? hm....

Hmm, I could probably chip off a piece of my countertops and try that anyway.....

If a little wood comes with it, that's okay. Its a piece of the true cross.

If I were a congressman, I'd accept the monument and pass a bill to start a Consititution Museum. I think Judge Moore's washing-machine-size stone block would make an excellent exhibit in the Hall of Constitutional Violations. We could put it a few steps down from the Ollie North exhibit.

Graciously accept it, but have Congress stipulate that it MUST be stored on the front lawn of the house of the donor, at his/her expense, in perpetuity, removal to be a jailable offense.

(And I don't know the mechanics of how this might be done...)

 

[WildCat]

It'd make a fine anchor for a buoy in Mobile Bay, you could start a diving school for fundies and they could go see it... praise Jeeeeeezus!

Personally, I think it would be a swell idea to commission a pedestal for Roy's Rock, and then erect the monument on top of the pedestal.

The monument and pedestal would then be a work of art. They could be on display as a permanent exhibit at an art museum.

My idea for the pedestal is this:

The pedestal is a statue of Moses, and Moses is carrying Roy's Rock. Moses's back is bent, he is having trouble keeping his balance, and his face is contorted in pain, because the damned thing is so freaking heavy. The statue would also show Moses suffering a hernia, with his intestines spooling out from under his robes.

Now that, my friends, is true art.
