State GOP chair: McCain 'kind of like Jesus'

Desperate times call for desperate measures, but there are surely limits, even for the Republican party? Apparently not:

Georgia Republican Party chairwoman Sue Everhart said Saturday that the party's presumed presidential nominee has a lot in common with Jesus Christ.

"John McCain is kind of like Jesus Christ on the cross," Everhart said as she began the second day of the state GOP convention. "He never denounced God, either."

Everhart was praising McCain for never denouncing the United States while he was being tortured as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

"I'm not trying to compare John McCain to Jesus Christ, I'm looking at the pain that was there," she said.

She's not comparing him to Jesus, she's just saying he's like him. It's an obvious distinction.

It's hard to deny though that McCain does have many qualities which are deeply religious and fitting for a man of God.
