A cunning stunt, part 2
Power Line ^ | 5/04/08 | Scott

Posted on 05/04/2008 11:18:11 AM PDT by LJayne

In "A cunning stunt," we posted Jim Hoft's report regarding the dirty trick played on John McCain at a town hall meeting last week by Obama supporter Marty Parrish. Parrish has been described in reports about the incident as a Baptist minister. We doubt it. At the conclusion of our post, John Hinderaker added: "If that jerk is a Baptist minister, I'm the Pope."

Late last night we recevied a two-word message from Parrish with the heading "Hi." The message reads: "Pope John." In other words, Parrish asserts that he is a Baptist minister. In his interview with John Gibson (audio below, via Johnny Dollar's Place), Parrish describes himself as "a licensed Baptist minister." He does not even claim to be an ordained minister. He appears to be a politically active Iowa businessman. I've written Parrish to ask him where he was ordained and what church he serves.

That title is just too close to inviting a Spoonerism. I’ve noticed a lot of titles lately that invite misinterpretation, like the Mozart one yesterday.

Marty Parrish sounds like he’s just a self-promoter, trying to pass himself off as a Baptist minister, who happens to also be an Obama supporter.

May 04
I'm Broke

My job with the Biden campaign ended abruptly January 8, 2008.

I have less than $100 in my GFT Forex account.

Thanks.

Marty Tarrel Parrish

PS. My personal Bank Account is at West Bank, West Des Moines, IA.
The Routing Number is 073903354.
The Account Number is 501229145.

I will have to pay U.S. Government taxes on any individual amounts that exceed $12,000 unless you specifically mark the wire transfer as a gift.

What an idiot. I'm sure some of those Nigerian scan artists would love to get hold of this information!

He has had his 15 minutes, to hell with him and any Democrat that supports stunts like this. It demeans the process and demeans themselves.

If Mccain pulls a “cunning stunt” ...
Is Hillary a “stunning c*unt”?

"a licensed Baptist minister."

Matchbook Cover: If you can draw the turtle, you can be a "licensed Baptist minister".

I think it's purposefully written that way given the question the man asked McCain.

Personally, we know he is a democrat operator. And a jerk.

But the two are redundant, of course.

Those knuckleheads at the Westboro Baptists Church make a similar nonsensical claim.

the dirty trick played on John McCain at a town hall meeting last week by Obama supporter Marty Parrish.

Ok. neither this thread, the linked article nor the original thread or it's linked article state exactly what this (typing very carefully) 'cunning stunt' is.

Anyone care to elucidate?
