Roy Moore-George Wallace wannabe

It's amazing this charlatan huckster Roy Moore still has people believing in him. John Wayne Gacy could get elected in some places if he just talked about Christians being persecuted. Come on sheepeople. Moore had a camera crew at the Alabama Supreme Court at 2 a.m. to record him installing that 2 ton rock. He sold the tapes to the idiot religious folks who made pilgrimages to pray at the Supreme Court. Things like this are called publicity stunts by we secularists. Roy Moore wants to be the reincarnation of George Wallace and to create a political machine with him as govenor. Could we have a national referendum on allowing Alabama to re-secede from the Union?

Lo and behold, a new bible on Roy Moore
Wednesday, July 13, 2005

Just when you think the Roy Moore saga has gotten as weird as it can get, a new chapter is written.

Or, in this case, a whole new book. Call it the King James Version.

Gadsden author Will Bevis has penned a glowing biography of the former chief justice and his Ten Commandments crusade - and in17th-century English, no less.

Consider this account of fellow Supreme Court justices who covered up Moore's 2½-ton commandments monument to comply with a federal court order:

Now in the night cowards set a curtain about the stone that it might not be seen that it might no longer offend the judge of the kingdom. ...

And in this manner sought the cowards to appease the judge of the kingdom, and all those who hateth the righteous young judge.

But then heareth the young judge of this vile thing and he was full of fury. Then calleth he unto another high judge of the province demanding, takest thou down the curtain from the stone.

Yea, takest it down or Lo, upon my coming I shall do it.

Bait and switch:

In late June, a bizarre e-mail blasted word about the new book to media across the state, hinting at a less-than-flattering portrayal of Moore. Indeed, it came across as a threat to his rumored gubernatorial campaign.

According to the e-mail, the book was to be released only if Moore announced as a candidate, and suggested Moore might be holding off because he feared the book's contents. "Why else would someone announce that he is NOT going to announce until later - except possibly waiting to see what the book contains before making a decision," the e-mail said.

Imagine our surprise this week when - with all of us still trying to guess Moore's plans - a second e-mail arrived, telling all about the book and even providing a link to download a copy for free.

The author, who didn't identify himself earlier, described himself this time as a former Moore critic who was won over by the ex-judge's autobiography. "I believe the truth is that he is a good man," Bevis is quoted as saying.

Why did the original e-mail seem to suggest otherwise? I couldn't reach Bevis to find out. My guess is it's some sort of marketing ploy, and it apparently worked. At the very least, it got me to read "The Ten Commandments Judge: The Story of Roy Moore Jr. in King James English."

And I didst laugh out loud.

Biblical proportions:

A preamble contains an important disclaimer - what you will read herein is NOT a part of the Holy Bible ... - and that will come as a relief to folks like Gov. Bob Riley and former Attorney General Bill Pryor, who are portrayed as Judases to the "young judge."

While the 92 chapters that follow may not be divine, they are priceless.

Pryor, who prosecuted Moore for judicial misconduct and has since become a federal appeals judge, is skewered in "The Book of the High Lawyer and the Betrayal."

Now this man be he who hath said in times past I shall stand by the young judge. Lo had he even risen to his high estate as chief lawyer of the province by those very words.

But now sought he much higher office and much higher estate. ...

Therefore, lo, in closed chambers and in dark corners, spake he with the governor and a high judge, that the young judge might be betrayed.

Later, in "The Book of the People and the Governor," Riley catches more heat for giving the chief justice job to his finance chief, Drayton Nabers, rather than reappointing the defrocked Moore.

And many be sore grieved at this the governor do. And it was mouthed about the place that but once should this man be governor. Yea, only once and no more.

And so it goes.

The book covers Moore's life - including the time when, as a boy, he stood up to grown men who tried to steal his freshly caught fish. (For he was a righteous child and feared none but God.) It ends with an appeal for readers to support Moore if he decides to run for governor.

As the book puts it: What wouldeth the savior have thee do?

Yes, what wouldeth?
