Actually, the full quote is a paraphrase of the bit of wisdom the Chief Kos Kid claims came from some unnamed “reader”. The full bit of stupidity?

Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor.

Not exactly the next Gettysburg Address, yet that exact quote was picked in a record time throughout the blogosphere. Now we learn that Obama chief strategist David Axelrod’s other business deals with astroturfing — the manufacturing of grassroot support. Huh.

Anywho, the talking point has now been picked up by Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) who repeated it on the floor of the House in support of Barack Obama.

Exit question: So, uh, how are those Democratic governors enjoying being compared to Pontius Pilate?
