On Monday, 700 Cub and Christian Coalition founder Pat Robertson endorsed Rudy Giuliani for President.
On Tuesday, Robertson issued a joint communiqué with radio talk show host Michael Medved, saying that Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered culture is not as bad as everyone thinks, gun control is “okay” and, that while abortion is still bad, at least it isn’t killing anyone. Giuliani’s campaign circulated the press release and added, “The true mark of a strict constructionist is support for Roe v. Wade.”

This morning, at a press conference from a campaign stop in Hell, Michigan, Dennis Kucinich clarified his previous statements about the “UFO” he observed from the Shirley MacLaine property in Washington State. “It has been identified from photographs,” said Kucinich, “and it was not a spacecraft or anything to do with aliens. It was a small flock of flying pigs.” Kucinich spoke from outside an ice-fishing hut erected on Patterson Lake, that has frozen over along with the rest of the city.
