SchadenFriday: Ralph Reed

Today's award goes to Ralph Reed, cherubic ex-leader of the Christian Coalition, who lost his bid to be the Republican nominee for the Lt. Governorship of Georgia this week.

Apparently, Mr. Morality is blaming John McCain for calling attention to Mr. Reed's ethical lapses.

The connection was the report issued by the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, chaired by McCain, that found Reed had been paid more than $5 million by two casino-owning Indian tribes -- both clients of lobbyist Jack Abramoff -- to rally Christian voters against other tribes opening competing casinos.

You must've screwed up badly, Mr. Reed, if you can't win the so-called "family values" vote Georgia. My hat goes off to you. May all your future political endeavours be so successful.
