Everybody's favorite local religious zealot/gay death penalty advocate/former Sam Brownback roomie Lou Engle got some serious press last weekend. Not only did he host another one of his massive "TheCall" prayer meetings in Sacramento (although it sounds like he didn't get the turnout he was praying for), the dominionist kook popped up in a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin.
In Joseph Michael Gross' sprawling -- and not very nice -- peek
at the post-Wasilla, post-runningmate, post-governor's office Grizzly
Mama, Gross examines
the NeoPalin and the ways she has been embraced by people in the
religious right who make Focus on the Family look like Greenpeace. One
of those faith-based celebrities noted for reaching out to Palin is
Engle, KC's own doom-spewing Uncle Leo doppelganger.
In the e-mail, Engle compared Palin to the biblical Queen Esther. "ThisFor those of you who haven't brushed up on ancient Hebrew texts lately, Esther saved the Jews from being exterminated in Persia in the third or fourth century BCE, give or take a hundred years. This seems like an odd comparison for Engle to be drawing.is an Esther moment in your life," he wrote. "Esther hid her identity
until Mordecai challenged her to risk everything for such a time as
this. Your identity is 'Sarah Barracuda.' Esther removed corruption from
the Persian government and Haman fell. She didn't have experience, she
had grace and favor. Sarah, don't hide your identity tonight."

Rhi got herself one quality single in Only Girl In The World)! I could surely recognize that Rihanna has one hit album comingup and I'ma surely buy that disc.
I will raise $2 million dollars for Governor Sarah Palin if she decides to run. I'm no "dominionist kook" of any kind and neither is Gov. Palin.
