Another white knight

Have you heard of the World Congress of Families? It's quite a large organization that features big gatherings of Christians all over the world.
Here's the latest from their communications director:
Think Evita after Botox treatments. Think Madame Defarge on a bad hair day. Think Lady Macbeth with serious issues ("Out, out, damned bimbo!").
To listen to the babbling heads, you'd think the Goldwater girl-turned-Alinsky-disciple could start preparing her acceptance speech (maybe Eleanor Roosevelt will help her write it). "Ooh, she'll raise so much money." "Ooh, women want a woman president." In the immortal words of General Anthony McAuliffe: "Nuts!"
Win the White House? Hillary couldn't win a popularity contest if she was the only contestant.
The Hideousness Factor – Lyndon Baines Johnson was the last profoundly ugly candidate to be elected president, and he was a legacy of the martyred JFK. Voters don't want a leader who looks frazzled or frumpy. We're told that Lincoln was too homely to be elected president in an age of television and paparazzi. But Lincoln's homely face had a dignity, a gravitas. If nothing else, we want a face that reassures us, not one that scares us, a la Night of the Living Alinskyites.
Conservatives might as well get in their licks in now. After Iowa, we won't have Hillary to kick around any more [sic].
I'm pretty sure he also thinks we need more civility in our culture.
It's not important, really. We know these wingnuts are extremely crude characters and documenting all these atrocities is too exhausting to contemplate. But I couldn't help but recall once again that a fair number of the literary allusions he used there were used during the 2008 campaign by so-called liberals.
