Dems Think Prayer is a Time for Comedy

It's bad enough they have Senatorial candidates writing bits for Saturday Night Live, but Democrats in Florida think their prayers should be sources of great political guffaws as well:

Get a room full of Democrats, and they can't resist poking fun at Sarah Palin.

It's not exactly the message that the Barack Obama campaign wants to exude — preferring to act as if the Republican vice presidential candidate doesn't get them ruffled — but Palin is just too rich a target for loyal Democrats.

At the Broward Democratic Party's monthly meeting Tuesday night, it started right at the beginning — with the invocation, delivered by Mike Moskowitz, the state committeeman for the county.

He called for a "blessing on the elk and moose in Alaska who have been decimated by Sarah Barracuda" and included a prayer that Palin doesn't turn her sights on the squirrels in Washington, D.C.

"We pray that her journey takes her across the bridge to nowhere," he said.

I'm sure God was just doubled over with laughter. He may have to modify his closing line for these guys:

"Depart from me, I didn't think it was funny."
