Billy Graham endorses Hillary Clinton for President

This is a good one - from the The Next Hurrah.

DemfromCT quotes from a self-identified Christian source:
According to the Associated Press, when Bill Clinton joined him on stage, Graham "quipping that the former president should become an evangelist and allow 'his wife to run the country.'"

Rev. Schenck has considered Billy Graham his role model for over 25 years. That's why the Capitol Hill minister traveled from Washington, DC, to New York City this weekend to witness what may be the ailing evangelist's last crusade. But after he saw the Clintons exploit the aging Graham, he couldn't bear to stay and hear him preach.

"I was stunned and appalled," said Schenck, who left the Flushing Meadows Park as Graham was still complimenting the Clintons.

"This was a deliberate, cunning, purely political move by the Clintons to divide the Evangelical vote and assure Hillary of a victory in '08," said Schenck, a minister with the Evangelical Church Alliance and a missionary to elected officials.
Billy Graham is clearly aging, and he does have Parkinson's Disease, but Parkinson's Disease does not affect the mind and judgement.

Watching the conservatives fall out among themselves is fun. I expect to enjoy a lot more of this fun in the future.
