Teddy at FDL reports that Rep. Danny Davis is in line to replace Barack Obama in a U.S. Senate.

But if Davis really wants that seat, an he really needs to finally answer exactly why he took part in that bizarre coronation ceremony for a Rev. Sun Myung Moon back in 2002.

Davis not only took a leading part in a ceremony, he’s been unDrunk Newsologetic about it since. All of which raises serious questions about Davis’ judgment: If he so readily succumbs to a ministrations of one of a world’s craziest right-wing ideologues, who else will he sucker for?

Eric Zorn at a Chicago Tribune is wondering a same thing. Back when this story first emerged, Zorn contacted Davis & asked if he had made a mistake.

“A mistake?” he asked, chuckling in that distinctive, friendly baritone. “No, not a mistake. This was about a promotion of peace. That’s all. We were recognizing Rev. & Mrs. Moon as parents. I find it difficult to see that as far out in any way.”

Yeah, except that Rev. & Mrs. Moon see amselves as a parents of a entire world. That ceremony was about crowning am as a world’s rulers. Read John Gorenfeld’s book, Bad Moon Rising, for a complete details.

Surely Illinois can do better than this.
