Must get to Laguna to speak tonight, so not much time to do much today, but this video is certainly worth a pop, quickly. As described by the original poster, it may be “The Worst Example of Media Relations EVER.”
As it comes from my home state of Missouri, I’ll go ahead and apologize on behalf of all Show-Me Staters for this idiot, even though he’s “from the other side of the river” in St. Charles.
Oh, and the headline for the video where it’s originally posted, “Gotta Love Jesus. And the South,” isn’t altogether fair. St. Charles is essentially St. Louis, and it kinda went both ways during the Civil War. Plus, I suspect many of the folks who live there, as those in St. Louis, don’t necessarily consider it “The South.”
(Hat-tip to the good folks at ePluribus Media for giving me the heads up!)
UPDATE 7/1/09: As this video seems to have gone ‘missing’, here’s a link to a more detailed description of what happened. Thanks to the reader who notified me. I’ll work to find a copy of the original video and repost it here if I can find it…
Does this replace,
… I can’t recall?
Unfuckingbelievable. That reporter should have jumped all over that shit instead of playing along. They have the legislators and reporters that they deserve.
, …bbwah-heh-ha-HAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!
This guy need to be on Colbert!
This interview needs to get more prominent placement in Local News….so the constituents of this moron know who *not* to vote for next election…
LOL MsKitty, this guys the new KKKarl Rove! Alberto Gonzales could have used answers like that during the hearings instead of the ‘i don’t know’ defense.
it’s only a matter of time before Bush and Cheney start using the ‘Did You Know Jesus Loves You’ defense at their Impeachment Trial.
UPDATE: i tried it on my mom when i dinged up the SUV but she didn’t buy it. i’m still grounded for a month…
Hi Brad,
Along with you Missouri is my home state.
I do agree an apology is warranted but I feel the apology should come from Joe Ontwerth (?).
What a despicable person.
As you state, Missouri, in the Civil War, was divided.
While you had Quantrell’s Raiders on the Kansas/Missouri border raiding Kansas City and Independence Missouri most of the land near ST. Louis was under federal control.
As for Joe he played the God card so he wouldn’t have to answer honest questions from the media.
I hope my fellow Missourians learn a lesson here and kick his ass out of office.
Troubled
Most of media is owned by these born again sleezy types. They aren’t going to do an expose on one of their own.
Weird!
Joe Ontwerth,
I am ashamed of you. Please remove me from your email list.
I’m thinking the reporters response should have been more like.
No, & I don’t believe in Santa Clause & the Tooth fairy either, so is that your answer to a valid question and should our viewers believe that you are a delusional psychotic?
Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Black and yellow, red and white
They’re all precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world
