As Horowitz writes The summary event I mentioned took place during a debate in the New Hampshire contest, moderated by Tim Russert. It was a moment when the redoubtable Keyesa preacher without a church stepped forward to call Sen. McCain to judgment. McCain's mortal sin was to reveal that he had been to a rock concert with his fifteen-year-old daughter and had liked a band called Nine Inch Nails.
In New Hampshire, McCain's misstep allowed Keyes to turn his lamp of righteousness on his hapless opponent.
Keyes (sternly): Don't you think that as leaders we ought to be a little bit more serious about the kind of influences that are now destroying the lives of our children, instead of aiding and abetting the cultural murder that is taking place?
McCain (to Russert): Can I get a life-line? (laughter)
Russert: Who do you want to call?
McCain: My 15-year-old daughter. (laughter)
Keyes (glowering): I'm a father and I've got to tell you I'm not laughing.
It was as if Keyes had caught the Senator making whoopie with the Antichrist.
While I'm no fan of McLame's, I remember the exchange and all I could do is shake my head and laugh. What a pompous little jerk.
When I was fifteen I went to Led Zeplin, The Who, Rolling Stones, Deep Purple,etc etc concerts in in New Orleans and I turned out alright.
The Keyster is a just a mean spirited little idiot.
Shall we work really hard for that 1,000 post goal? Who knows....if it goes fast, we may even set a new target, say 2,000....will certainly appreciate the help at that time, as well, and you can be assured I'll get the attention of others to let them know about your willingness to help out the conservative cause.
Bless your lil' old heart now and keep bumping....don't let the computer viruses take you down. :)
