Post a Comment On: Internal Monologue

OK this (from Political Vine) is too damn funny. Crooks and Liars has the video of Westmoreland (R-Georgia 8th) on the Colbert Report. He co-sponsored a bill requiring the display of the Ten Commandments public buildings, but he can’t even name more than three. Ouch. Let’s see if I can do better (from memory, honestly):

Thou shalt have no other Gods before me
Thou shalt honor thy mother and father
Thou shalt not commit murder
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor
Thou shalt keep holy the Sabbath
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s stuff
Thou shalt not worship idols/graven images
Thou shalt not commit adultery
Hmm…lets…see…I can’t remember…
Google to the rescue! Of course I also don’t know the order…here we are! (from prayerlist.com). Oh, “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” Forgot that one. It’s number three. Still, not bad for a humanist. And I did better than the congressman who wanted to put them up in public buildings.

UPDATE: Andrew Sullivan links to it, too. But I beat him to it by quite a bit.
