Alan Keyes on the chimp: potential goldmine?


ANAHEIM, Calif. –– GOP front-runner George W. Bush decided to attend the Ryder Cup over the weekend instead of the California Republican Party convention, prompting one rival to accuse him of "cowering in the bushes."

"I find it kind of strange that somebody whose people keep telling us he's got it all sewed up is showing up absent at so many important party meetings and has been contriving to try to destroy all of the venues of debate that ought to be taking place in this season," radio host Alan Keyes said at a convention news conference Sunday. "What's he afraid of?"

Keyes added: "If the term 'mediocrity' does not apply to Mr. Bush, let him come out here and prove it. Because last time I looked, all the money in the world doesn't make you a superior candidate."

5. Problem is Alan Keyes believes
Alan Keyes is superior to none in all things. Beyond that he is willing to compromise his "values" for short term gains just as quickly as all those godless minions he decries.
