"Chocolate Jesus" Angers Right-Wing Blowhard...

Bill Donohue is such a silly little man.

His Catholic League claims to "defend individual Catholics and the institutional Church from defamation and discrimination", but what he really is is a holier-than-thou publicity whore a la Jerry Falwell.

Ever vigilant of the the ongoing assault on Catholics in modern-day society (I'm at a loss for an example), he's taking on a New York City hotel that plans to display a statue of a naked Jesus made of chocolate.

Shock. Horror. What will we tell the children?, etc.

In true Christ-like fashion, the pious Mr. Donohue has taken the high road by promising to exact a little financial revenge on the hotel.

"It is the goal of the Catholic League to make (the hotel) financially bankrupt as well..."

Undoubtedly, this is exactly the kind of vengeance Jesus Himself would've sought, don't you think?

P.S. I have to say, as a man who is 16 days away from becoming Catholic himself, Bill Donohue and his Catholic League do not and will never speak for me.

Never...
