Pastor From Jenna Bush's Wedding Rails Against McCain

The pastor who officiated Jenna Bush's wedding in May recently criticized John McCain for his comments at a biker rally earlier this month. ABC has the story.

"Well, I don't know a lot about John McCain's family history, I do know, however, that as recently as last week I think it was, the Senator made a comment in South Dakota regarding his wife entering some Buffalo Chips contest which is this topless deal and if she were to enter she would probably win it and my personal opinion and based on my understanding of the Christian faith, that's not not, N-O-T, not the type of expression that a presidential candidate, or anyone for that matter who is a follower of the Christian faith, ought to make," said the Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell. "I don't know if that is a perfect case in point, but it surely does help to juxtapose the DNA of Senator Obama, if you would, versus the DNA of Senator McCain."

Caldwell, a close personal friend of President Bush, is the senior pastor at Windsor Village United Methodist Church in Houston, Texas. Caldwell made his comments on a conference call with reporters sponsored by the Matthew 25 Network, a liberal Christian Group. Matthew 25 is planning to air a pro-Obama ad on Saturday during the Rick Warren forum with Obama and McCain. The ad will air on CNN and possibly MSNBC, according to the group's spokesperson.

Praise Jesus!!!

(Remember what Chris Rock said: "A young woman's breasts are community; and older women's, her husband's.")

He's getting his 15 minutes of fame ... but it all boils down to a preacher thinking his opinion is worthy of note ... and space in the media. Hurray for him ... he is apparently coming out for Obama, and against the other guy. So what?

[MatanP]

Why do the McCains hate the troops like this?

[NotMcCain]

So, maybe religious people will think "Republican" isn't necessarily the most "moral" candidate--or even the most "Christian".

McCain has broken several of the 10 Commandments (including the big "adultery" one). If I were (still) a religious person, that would matter very much to me.

And the disrespect he shows women in general, and his wife in particular, with the Buffalo Chips comment--not to mention the c*nt comment--should matter to all but the most ignorant and sexist.

McCain's too old, too unintelligent, too sexist, too hypocritical, too unethical--and lacks the judgment--to lead this country in the 21st century.

Same goes for Rev. Wright!!!!!would you not have to agree?

[Pragman]

The difference is that Obama is bad because a bad preacher aggrees with him.

McCain is bad because a good preacher disagrees with him.

Now if McCain loses as many points over this as Obama lost over Rev. Wright, then it'll be "same goes".

If Obama had made that same comment about his wife, it would be the talk of the media for weeks. If Obama said that Iran was training Al Qaeda (which they are not), as McCain has done multiple times to be corrected by Lieberman, the media would repeatedly say Obama is uninformed on foreign affairs. If Obama sang "Bomb-bomb-iran, as McCain did, he would be skewered.

EXACTLY. MSM is making me sicker every day with their love affair with McSame. He is a sexist pig. The rape comment alone should have been his 'Howard Dean' moment, yet I haven't seen a WORD about it on MSM channels.

[ObamaLover]

is this news??? i guess so, i am here reading it.

[drzoon]

this IS news. Mc Cain is filthy in every way imaginable... and in this case offering his wife... "the future first lady?" .... to take part in a topless contest!

KEATING FIVE anyone?

[edgraham]

If God didn't want us to see breasts, he wouldn't have given them to women.

She does have that Stepford Wife look - - maybe they are not anatomically correct.

She looks like the Crypt Keeper to me.

[ultrabop]

Where does it say in the bible that women can't show their rack?

[LemonFreshScent]

I Breastalossions 8:26

Thou shalt not show thine breasts at rally's involving thine brethren.

[scouserinlondon]

I've looked and I can't find that anywhere!!!Is this in the New or Old Bible?

[ahornick]

Amazing he would care about McCain pimping his wife but nothing on Bush's wake of death and destruction. Must be a strange version of the bible he's reading!

[thereigoagain]

Please also tell us what the pastor from Amy Carter's and Julie Nixon's weddings think!!
This is urgent info that could determine the election.

[drzoon]

its about the authenticity of their faiths. who these two guys really are in regards to faith and their relationship with god.

mc cain wants to participate in the whispering campaign about barack's (not true) muslim ties. but does he want us to look at him as well?

[thereigoagain]

fine, but that has nothing to do with this. keep the children out of it.

[robXdion]

uhh, instead of using "DNA" he should have said "character". Other than that, this was the obvious unspoken comment every honest person was thinking.

[stepintothelight]

Ever tried to isolate categorize frat boy DNA? I think he got it right ... Highly contagious stuff there!!!

[whiteboyblues]

AMEN

[littlepuffycloud]

BFD

[drzoon]

mc cain is morally bankrupt.

KEATING FIVE? OR... HIS ADULTERY. HE WILL DO WHAT EVER FEELS GOOD... FOR HIM!!!

[BJMS]

Even McSame's base knows he's a fraud...
