Jesus Endorses Huckabee, But Pharisees Wanted Him First

In a surprise move, Jesus resurrected himself this month so he could give an additional boost to his long time friend Mike Huckabee. As you may know, Mike is an ordained Baptist Minister and has probably taken more oaths to Jesus than all of his Republican opponents. Jesus helped Huckabee's consultants design his latest ad, meant to not look like a campaign ad at all.

"Jesus thought that we should make it all about him and not about Mike, at least in the next week or so," said an anonymous Huckabee aide yesterday. Indeed, Christmas time for all ye Republican faithful should not be a time for politics (unless it benefits your own candidate), instead you should sit back and watch other campaigns around you implode.

So for now, Huckabee continues to surge, despite one fringe candidate's massive online support yesterday. The other Republicans are also trying to figure out what to do with Jesus' favored candidate. One group that is feeling left out in this story, the Pharisees were angry about the Holy Son's political quest. They were hoping to ride Huckabee's coattails in order to keep a place in the White House after Bush leaves office in January of 2009. Though they shouldn't be too miffed, as their advisers are placed in almost every Republican candidate's campaign.
