what people are saying

It's Sunday morning, and that means John Oxendine is busy doing something overtly Christian. Nobody likes to brag about how religious they are more than Georgia's Insurance Commissioner, who is now a Republican candidate for governor in 2010. When it comes to being a Christian, Oxendine will drink you right under the table. However, his new internet commercial is anything but Christian. In fact, if one believes in such things as God and Satan, take a look and decide for yourself which of the two had anything to do with this ugly little production and which didn't. It is the product of a sick, twisted mind. It is a new low in Georgia politics. And, importantly, it is best watched while taking hallucinogenic mushrooms and listening to the second side of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." Wow. Just wow. This is, of course, a knockoff of the famous (and much shorter) "King Rat" commercial that got Sonny Perdue so much attention back in the 2002 race (although that one was also quite nasty), and obviously Oxendine is hoping for the same result: to get himself elected governor even at the risk of possibly burning in Hell for eternity. (Unfortunately for Oxendine, or maybe fortunately, we hear the Devil already made his bargain in this election with someone else...) Normally, we wouldn't spend a lot of time analyzing a cartoon. Well, maybe "The Little Mermaid," because Ariel is kind of hot in a Disney kind of way. But this Oxendine production isn't just a new low in Georgia politics, it tells you a great deal more about the man than he probably intended. Let's start with this little girl... We're really not sure who she is. Karen Handel, another Republican candidate for governor, who loves to talk about the fact that she was abused as a child, included a photo of herself at about this age in one of her videos -- so, it is possible Oxendine felt he needed to include one, too. But why does the kid keep saing, "He's backkkkkk..." about King Roy the Rat? If she is seven years old, sh...
