If Danny Davis wants to replace Obama in the Senate, he has some Moonie questions to answer
November 29th, 2008
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.
