Emperor Moon and Democrat Followers/Believers?

The Emperor Moon, beloved of the Congressional Black Caucus, was crowned Emperor (or king or whatever) in a federal office building in Washington, DC this past week.

Carrying his crown was a member of the step-n-fetchit, fully segregated Congressional Black Caucus (bald guy, big round face, say whatever ole massa tell him). There were some mentions deep in the pages of newspapers but no in depth coverage as there would have been with a white Christian Republican.

If Moon is king or emperor, doesn't this dumb, schmutz Congressmen have some answering to do about serving a foreign prince? Why would the feds get involved with stupidity like this (other than the bald guy, of course)?

Is this same government space available for, God forbid, Christian events or would that be a violation of church and blah, blah, blah...

Or, does the media only question the intellegence of Republicans and NEVER criticize or question dems, especially black dems? Is all US media ultra-left wing or is there a free press in America? Any one see this nonsense in the NYT or were they, too, so ashamed of this Congressman, that they took a bye?

At 84, Moon cuts a curious figure in Washington, where he mingles with the city's power elite by dint of his dual roles as religious leader and media mogul. As a conservative, he claims close ties to US President George W. Bush and the Republican Party. To hold the event in the Dirksen building, the organization was required to find a senator willing to act as sponsor. But the identity of that senator remained a secret on Wednesday; the Senate Rules and Administration Committee, which approved the request, would not release the name.

Heh.  Approved by the Repubican controlled SRAC.  The lack of media coverage belies your ultra-left wing description, in this case, anyway.  Who has more to be embarrassed about here? 

It looks more like a case of bait and switch on Moon's part.  Or just bait.  The solons didn't know a coronation was going to take place, and are backpedalling like crazy.  A case study for keeping religion out of government.

"Heh.  Approved by the Repubican controlled SRAC.  The lack of media coverage belies your ultra-left wing description, in this case, anyway.  Who has more to be embarrassed about here?"

Well, maybe. But, if you assume that some dem Senator got a nice campaign contribtion, he would have signed anything. The absence of ultra-left wing media coverage tells me it was a dem Senator who sponsored Moon and then left it to the black Congressman to wait on him. I understand the Congressman wore white gloves through his worship of Moon.

We'll see, but my bet is that had it been a Republican Senator, one of the crapweasels would already have blown the whistle.
