The Times
Just hours after Pope Benedict XVI arrived at the White House on Wednesday, North Coast congressional hopeful Mitch Clogg pleaded for his help. ”Your Holiness,” Clogg wrote on his blog, “please exorcise the president.” Clogg, who also called for a papal exorcism on Vice President Dick Cheney, is challenging Congressman Mike Thompson for his seat representing the North Coast in the Capitol.

”That was a wise crack, but the fact of the matter is that it is a wine produced in this district that is getting poured in honor of the pope,” Clogg said, adding that the wine is Sonoma's Sebastiani Vineyards and Winery's 2005 Dutton Ranch Chardonnay. While he labeled the post as a wise crack, Clogg didn't entirely dismiss it.
”These men are evil,” he said of Bush and Cheney. “It's not just a bad president and vice president, we've never had anything like this where the country is being run by a criminal syndicate. It seems like these guys ought to be tarred and feathered, literally, on their way to prison.”
Seeing no help from Congress on the horizon in the form of impeachment, Clogg turned to the pope with his Wednesday blog plea. ”If I believed in the devil, I would believe that Bush and Cheney were inhabited by him,” he said. Clogg also saved some harsh words for his challenger, saying Thompson is essentially a Republican in Democratic clothing and is too conservative to represent the 1st District.
