So, John Kasich. Now that guy's in a class by himself. Check out a segment from his show, 'the Heartland', on, (you guessed it, Fox) called 'Jesus and Judas', in which Kasich and his guest, (the director of a Nat Geo docu which said that Jesus and Judas were friends) had a shouting match while a priest looked benignly on.
Here's my favourite part:
Kasich: Okay, doctor (who is he calling doctor?) you have the Da Vinci code, okay, which was inspired by the gnostics, okay, then you had a book that came out (...) called I think the Jesus papers, okay, and this books says that Jesus didn't die on the cross, i mean, that he got punctured and everything, but he didn't die. I mean, you know, insanity. It seems to me that there is a basic attack on some of the basic tenets of the Christian faith. Why is this happening?
Kasich then goes on to basically attack poor James Barratt, turning pinker and more slack-jawed with every word.
Barratt: There were more than thirty gospels and in the early days of Christianity they were basically competing for supremacy..
Kasich: You're dead wrong. If you believe that Jesus' best friend was Judas, it's not the case, Sir,
Barratt: But what are you basing it on?
Kasich: This stuff is nonsense. We're going to have to stop it there.
Now that's good TV.

Damn but I hate not having cable TV!!! This is the kind of stuff I miss!!!
Back to the program, FIrst off, this kind of journalism, which is furelled by this complete sense of controversy and ignorance is something I abhor! I mean who the hell gives you the right to go on national television and mislead an entire populace?
The docu director and the priest were so being sane and rational, but thins anchor guy thought that he could get the two of them to fight! Thoroughly pathetic! Basic tenets of Christianity? Does it even occur to the dumb as that people are not programmable machines, but then again, this be america who the hell am I fooling? They will believe anything!!!
