McCain hearts Hagee, and Cornyn hearts Hagee, and how does McCaul's head not explode?

Some things I'll never understand.

If the GOP needed Catholics before, it will surely need them this November. So why's John McCain getting so cozy with avowed Catholic hater John Hagee?

And although I can't find a picture of it now, I was surprised to see Johns McCain, Hagee and Cornyn standing up in front of the media, happy as three pigs in a poke. A subsequent search for photos shows KayBee and Cornyn standing proudly with the anti-Catholic firebrand.

Another thing I don't understand: How Michael McCaul's head doesn't explode as he soaks this all in. He's Catholic. Which only matters in as much as his party's standard bearer is making nice with John Hagee. And his mentor, John Cornyn, has apparently made nice with John Hagee. And his state's senior senator has made nice with John Hagee.

Honestly, how does he hold in his head the fact that his party's presidential nominee and his mentor are so in love with John Hagee? How does his head not explode? How does he not get disgusted with his party? How does he keep his mouth shut?

There are some things, I guess, I'll just never understand.

Perhaps he didn't notice (3.00 / 1)
He's been spending so much time and effort convincing the 10th that he's a "Moderate" that he didn't see it?

Just a thought.

Or he chooses NOT to notice (3.00 / 1)
On the other hand, the press hasn't really played this up too much. Not as much as the Farrakhan fracas, anyway. So maybe he hasn't really noticed. Maybe he's more afraid of illegals and terrorists swarming over the border than he is of John Hagee.

P.S. Hope this post isn't terrible and backhanded.
