Washington (Monday, October 6th) – A major rift opened in the Democratic Party over the weekend as sharp divisions emerged over whether President George W. Bush or Arnold Schwarzenegger was in fact the Antichrist.
The allegations of Republican Antichristness first surfaced in an NPR interview between Bob Edwards and Terry McAuliffe aired on Friday morning. When asked if David Kaye’s interim report on Iraqi WMDs failed to support Bush’s contention that the threat from Iraq was imminent and negated Bush’s claims that Saddam personally visited Niger to purchase yellowcake, McAuliffe replied “Bob, it’s clear that the Bush Administration is no longer content to be just an unelected despotic regime intent on undoing the work of the Clinton Administration – they are now clearly doing the devil’s work and Bush has the mark of the beast on him.”
A poll released an hour later by Newsweek showed that, in a poll of 500 people who were too stupid to get caller ID, 34 percent of Americans did believe that Bush was the Antichrist, with 20 percent of those agreeing once they were told who the Antichrist was and that all Republicans were evil.
That evening at a campaign rally before a gay rights group, Gray Davis pointed to the poll results as proof that an “unholy alliance of religious conservatives and agents of Satan” was behind the recall effort, and that “Arnold Schwarzenegger is the true Antichrist.”
The LA Times the next morning reported on page one that six unnamed actors who had worked with Schwarzenegger over the last thirty years claimed that Arnold had committed animal sacrifices in his dressing room and a grip from the set of End of Days said that Schwarzenegger enjoyed the sequence where the devil enters his body a bit too much.
On the Sunday talk show circuit, a split emerged as the Davis camp, responding to polls showing people returning early from vacations to vote in favor of the recall, pressed their case that Schwarzenegger was the Antichrist. On Meet the Press, Gray Davis, when asked by Tim Russert for proof, stated that “After all, the Book of Revelations says that as soon as the devil found himself thrown down to the earth, he set off in pursuit of the woman, the mother of the male child – looks like Arnold’s been doing just that. And for crying out loud, the guy drives a Hummer and is proud of it – what could be more evil than that?”
But Senator Hillary Clinton, appearing on This Week with George Stephanopoulos, insisted that George W. Bush was the true Antichrist. “Womanizing is no clear indication that someone is the Antichrist. And we’ve all seen pictures of Arnold naked and I, um, you know, didn't notice any 666 on his buttocks. But we’ve never seen Mr. Bush naked, and you can only guess why.” Senator Clinton demanded that an independent counsel be appointed to investigate whether Bush was the Antichrist by saying “Ken Starr spent 40 million dollars to run a DNA test on my husband’s semen, I only think it’s fair, you know, that someone in turn gets to strip George Bush naked and shave his head and look for a birthmark.”
