Major Republican Congressman: I believe Iraq is leading us to armageddon, hooray!

“As for Armageddon, I just note with interest that’s what the Bible says. That it’s on the Plains of Megiddo. Right there in Israel. And it makes you wonder where this conflict’s all going to ultimately lead. And I happen to believe it will ultimately lead to what the Bible says.” -John Doolittle, Deputy Majority Whip, Secretary of the House Republican Conference

Check at 4:58 of this video for a cite:

Hopefully you don’t have to be an atheist to find totaly creepy that blank doe-eyed stare as he talks about how he supports the war in Iraq and also how he thinks that we are heading towards the end of the world, just as the Bible says!

Doolittle also thinks that the Foley mess just goes to show what the problem is with having gay people around minor children (2:09).

The full debate clips are all there, but none of the context makes them any better.

IIRC, Doolittle is also being looked at by the DOJ for taking bribes from Abramhoff?

He’s a real winner.

Doolittle is such a nutjob. Vote the bastard out!

CHARLIE BROWN FOR CONGRESS!*

*Doolittle’s opponent is Lt. Col. Charles Brown

4

But can he talk to the animals…?

Yeah, I find it creepy. But then, I’m a godless heathen, so I probably don’t count.

5

Charlie Brown had only this to say about his opponent’s embrace of the end of the world: Good grief!

The Plains of Megiddo are boring anyway. I plan to be working babyface at the Rainbrow Bridge when Loki brings the Giants into Asgard. I’ll be there singing and crying “Valhalla, I am coming”. Might even have a pair of fuzzy kittens fighting beside me. Ragnorak-n-roll, Baby!

I know- a crazy priest burst into his office, saying:

"When the Jews return to Zion
And a comet rips the sky
And the Holy Roman Empire rises,
Then You and I must die.
From the eternal sea he rises,
Creating armies on either shore,
Turning man against his brother
'Til man exists no more. "

8

All he needs now is to be appointed to the Court of St. George.

Doolittle is running against Charlie Brown? Mercy, it’s the Battle of the KidLit.

Or maybe not:

No shit, Sherlock? A prediction in the Bible pertains to an actual place in Israel? Wow, what a coincidence!

Moron. Sleazeball moron. I hope Charlie Brown kicks his ass. (It feels weird typing those words, though.)

10

The guy really goes by Charlie Brown? I don’t know if that’s brilliant or stupid… I guess it depends on how the guy deals with it. If he’s comfortable joking about it and is confident, then what the hey!!

11

I stopped at Megiddo last month. Ate at McDonalds. Had the McShnitzel Value Meal. No heavenly host or hellish hordes were present.

12

'Course not. They were at Burger King.

13

I hope he never tries to run for president. There’s simply no way he can be trusted with the football.

14

Would he walk into the Cabinet Room cool and slow, and call the Secretary of State Daddy-O?

15

Does his wife have red hair?

16

I firmly believe that the most dangerous thing about George W. Bush is that, on some level, he wants to be the Armageddon President.

17

The chairman of AT&T during the divestiture was named Charlie Brown. When he retired, he was replaced by Jimmy Olsen. When Olsen died, he was replaced by Bob Allen - not a cartoon character, but a dead ringer for Mr. Rodgers.

Now wonder we went into the crapper.

18

I’m not sure what else he could go by other than Charlie Brown, given that it is his name. Chuck Brown maybe, but lots of people in the cartoon called Charlie Brown Chuck.

19

Apparently not, but it’s a sweet idea.

? I thought it was only Peppermint Patty who did that (and her sidekick Marcie, in imitation of Patty).

Are you kidding? Much the same apocalyptic “brains” are in control now. Just a bit smarter and quieter about it…
