The NY Post is reporting that “Democrats will kneel before the ‘Temple of Obama’ tonight. As if a Rocky Mountain coronation were not lofty enough, Barack Obama will aim for Mount Olympus when he accepts his party’s nomination atop an enormous, Greek-columned stage - built by the same cheesy set team that put together Britney Spears’ last tour. ”
Perhaps there’s more to the Obama-Spears connection — hinted at in McCains “Celebrity” ad — than first thought. Of course, I’m joking.
But this whole thing seems like a joke. Is Senator Obama really going to come walking out from between the columns of his own O-lympic temple?
Will all his supporters worship him when he appears? One report indicated that the dais upon which he will be standing to give his speech can be elevated. Is this guy for real?
If this is what it appears to be, then I think perhaps Senator McCain should start thinking about what drapes he would like to order for the White House. This is so over the top, it’s hard to even properly react.
The image link is from Powerlineblog.com, one of my favorite blogs. John from Powerlineblog.com noted in his post that “A McCain staffer asked, upon seeing a news report about Obama’s temple, ‘Is this from the Onion?’”

What is he holding? Dandelions? Spinach?

Christina,
Great question. I’m not sure. Looks like it could be some kind of normal garden-variety weed. That’s just my best guess.
