Satire: "Pat Robertson Endorses Giuliani, Pope Backs Hillary"

Funny stuff:

Charismatic conservative evangelical television star Pat Robertson yesterday endorsed thrice-married, Roman Catholic, pro-choice, gay rights advocate Rudy Giuliani for president. In addition to “financial and moral support”, Mr. Robertson pledged to “pray for the miraculous second coming of Rudy’s hair.”

Not to be outdone, Pope Benedict XVI early today announced his backing of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton’s White House bid.

The Pope said his endorsement of Sen. Clinton is part of his overall “outside-the-box strategy to reach out to Muslims, Jews and pro-choice, gay rights advocates who ride the political coattails of their adulterous husbands.”

“When I heard that Pat had endorsed Rudy,” the Pontiff said, “I thought I might employ the same strange-bedfellows tactic to shake up the Democrat race.”

The Pope said that he would have come out for Sen. Clinton earlier, but in the political realm the Vatican traditionally observes a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. - ScrappleFace
