Wonder who Hillary's pastor might be

Seems McCain has his own 'pastor problem', with John Hagee making anti-Catholic remarks for which he's had to apologize. To win over evangelicals, McCain sought Hagee's support when he launched his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, but his campaign was caught off guard by the uproar over controversial comments Hagee has made about the Roman Catholic Church. Pastor John Hagee, who heads the Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, said in a letter made public Tuesday that he now knew the terms he used to describe the church, such as "the great whore," were "rhetorical devices long employed in anti-Catholic literature." The Catholic League called on McCain to repudiate Hagee, saying that he had "waged an unrelenting war" against the church and had called it a "false cult system," among other derogatory terms. Hagee also said the damage Hurricane Katrina inflicted on New Orleans was "the judgment of God" on the city's "sin." McCain had also rejected any comparison with the criticism aimed at Sen. Barack Obama for controversial statements made by the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., who lead Obama's church for 20 years. McCain noted that Hagee was not his pastor.
