10 Commandments judge considers White House run
The Associated Press reports:
The former Alabama judge known for refusing to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the state courthouse says he is forming an exploratory committee for a possible presidential run.
Former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore made the announcement Monday on the Des Moines, Iowa, radio station WHO. He said he would immediately begin a weeklong tour of Iowa. January's Iowa Caucuses will be the first test for 2012 candidates.
Moore said in a release that he is concerned about what he called the country's moral, economic and constitutional crisis.
Moore, a conservative Christian, came to prominence as a circuit judge when he posted the Ten Commandments in his courtroom. Later, he was removed from office as chief justice for refusing to move the Ten Commandments monument.

Just what the Republican Party needs, another stupid Right-wing neo-fascist Christian in the race. Maybe they are just trying to make Rick "Hold a gun to their head and make them breed against their will" Santorum, look sane by comparison.

While Judge Moore has as much chance of being elected President as I do, the fact that he thinks he is electable says volumes about both his hubris and his read of the American electorate. The former is laughable. The latter is scary.
