[dogknob]

I know you're jealous, but tough luck. Hands off! He's my congress-creep. This man represents me!

1. There are no words!

[leveymg]

2. Onward to Damascus! A war of infinite regress as sects within sects keep killing rival infidels

for the sake of revenge for religious wars fought hundreds or thousands of years ago! Forever!

Where do we sign up, Daryl?

[Khaotic]

3. 'Merica Needs to React

The sentiment behind such comments as Issa's ... see video:

This isn't going away anytime soon folks.

[Quantess]

12. Eww. That turned into a musical at 2:07

What the hell was that?

[Initech]

4. We do not need another trillion dollar stalemate!

[FSogol]

5. You know what would be an awesome reality show? Get Senators and Congressmen to point out

the location of foreign countries on maps with prize money for correct answers going to charity.

I'd love to watch Issa try to locate Syria on an unlabeled world map.

6. He's ethnic Lebanese - Greek Orthodox.

He just has a 2,000 year old hatchet to bury in someone's back.

[FSogol]

8. I'm guessing ODS* or cashing in on ongoing war is more responsible than personal geneaolgy.

* Obama Derangement Syndrome

[librechik]

7. but it's not a mandate to feed the poor and care for the sick?

He's a cherry picker as well as a car thief. Versatile.

[haikugal]

9. Silly me...I thought we had a secular government.

[madrchsod]

10. using that logic we should invade israel.

[Coyotl]

11. Christianity's efforts to conquer the world can go to hell

Here's some more of those Christian roots = Christian intervention in the Americas = worst genocide in human history = 100 million dead.

[pscot]

13. Issa's a modern day Crusader

Remember when we sacked Constantinople for jesus? Good times.

[magellan]

14. So...we should make it a religious war?

It isn't about useful tools of client states going rogue, or wmds in the hands of frenemies, or terrible dictators ordering soldiers to take babies out of incubators and leave them - *sniffle* - to die on the cold floor?

Well, at least Issa's being honest about his intentions for once.

[MindPilot]

15. Yeah, for a guy who's last name is the Arabic word for "Jesus"

that is right up there with Bush using the word "crusade" to describe US actions in Iraq.

And I am so green with envy...I get to be repped by the sane and sensible Susan Davis (D).

[rurallib]

16. I say we give Darrel a flintlock and a one-way ticket to Damascus

Wish well and tell him to make us proud and send him on to end the war.
