Father Rodriguez for President

Why not?

The Republicans need a stronger candidate and Rodriguez is almost as devoutly Catholic as Rick Santorum.

I don't know if you had a chance to check out the editorial in Sunday's Edition of the El Paso Times, but Rodriguez pulled off some political spin better than I've seen GOP Presidential candidates Swift Boat Kerry.

It was masterful.

Rather than make his op-ed an Act of Contrition (pun intended), Father Rodriguez chose the old fashioned Wizard of Oz Defense. Pay-no-attention-to-the-account-with-my-mother-as-the-beneficiary-in-the-event-of-my-death.

So Rodriguez starts to go on offense. Complains that the Diocese isn't following religious dogma closely enough. Funny, I don't remember hearing anything about creating accounts that are left to your mother in the event of your death in the Bible or Vatican II.

Meh, maybe its in the Old Testament.

Back to my point here, Rodriguez took no responsibility for his alleged actions. Instead he attempts to change the subject by focusing on dogma.

Hate to break it to the Right Reverend, pun intended again, but the Pope seems to be okay with Bishop Ochoa. He's actually getting somewhat of a promotion. He's going to a much larger Diocese to lead that flock.

Rodriguez on the other hand, was sent to Texas' answer to Siberia.

God be with you Father Rodriguez...doesn't look like anyone else will be...

Rodriguez just needs to pick one of the four remaining Flying Monkeys as a running mate....
