Someone else on my friendslist blogged about this news story and raised an interesting question -- as a Catholic from South Carolina, what would Stephen Colbert think of this? I wish I could ask him. Especially since he's also a Democrat. (I imagine he would make a face similar to the one he's making in your icon.) Goes to show that not all southern Catholics think like that guy.
It is indeed ridiculous. Also, just because someone voted for Barack doesn't mean that they're necessarily pro-choice themselves -- they might have just not wanted to vote for McCain based on other reasoning. But I doubt that the priest in that article would care, or would understand subtleties like that.
