Watch the Scandal Flounder
So, potential Republican presidential candidate Duncan Hunter has appointed a man by the name of Henry Jordan as a campaign co-chairman in South Carolina. Mind you, a few years back, Henry Jordan was saying things like this:
A state Board of Education member, talking Tuesday about displaying the Ten Commandments in public schools, had a ready suggestion for groups who might object to it.
"Screw the Buddhists and kill the Muslims," Dr. Henry Jordan said during the board's finance and legislative committee meeting. "And put that in the minutes," he added.

"I was expressing my frustration. We can't teach basic Christianity even from a historical standpoint, but they can teach about Muslims and Buddhists," he said. "They can teach any kind of cult. Buddhism is a cult. So is Islam. I'm getting a little tired of it."
I predict the media controversy over this hiring will start sometime never. If only we had someone who claimed secular Jews controlled Hollywood and hated Christianity to explain to everyone how bigoted this statement is.
