Holy Relic or Future DNA Evidence?

I swear to God I am not making this up. Click the link if you don't believe me, it was still up at 1:30 p.m. CDT 8-1004. Do be sure and read the fine print (noted in bold below for your convenience) before bidding on this bit of political ephemera:

(via eBay, thanks to the ever-invaluable ArchPundit

Napkin with sweat from Ambassador Alan Keyes' forehead
Blotted from Keyes' brow at Senate announcement 8-8-04

85 bids (US $0.08 starting bid)

Current bid: US $465.00

GOP Senatorial Candidate Keyes was sweating profusely after his stem-winder speech and the sweat was collected from a napkin at approximately 3:02 pm Central Time just outside the Wellington Restaurant in Arlington Heights, Illinois, under the watchful eye of multiple news reporters including multiple television cameras.

Current plans are to donate proceeds from this sale to the Keyes for Senate campaign, pending a legal opinion. Due to Federal Election Campaign Laws, we might have to stop the bidding at $999.99 to avoid having to form a political fundraising committee. This sale is on behalf of an individual Alan Keyes supporter but not affiliated directly with the Keyes' campaign.​

i like Alan Keyes. i'm sorry he had to make the decision to get slaughtered by Obama.

 

[xfer]

also, calling him "Ambassador Keyes" is kind of like calling Bill Cosby "Dr. Cosby".

he sounds completely off his rocker. he has some interesting ideas but he's a complete hypocrite. spellbinding orator, tho.

 

[xfer]

is he a hypocrite? i guess i'm not familiar enough with him to notice any glaring hypocrises. i disagree with a lot of his conservative views, but he does say a lot of good things, and even his crazy shit is presented in a great manner.

well he is entertaining, I'll give him that. it's gonna be interesting to see the old geezer take on the young gun. He jumped right into obama's shit about the number of debates. In the long run this combat will be good for Barack because Keyes can outthink and outtalk most people on the planet.

the hypocricy thing I'm thinking of is this:

"I deeply resent the destruction of federalism represented by Hillary Clinton's willingness to go into a state she doesn't even live in and pretend to represent people there," Keyes told the frat boys at Fox News on March 17, 2000. "So I certainly wouldn't imitate it."

plus he';s still hundreds of thousands in debt from his previous sallies against windmills.

oh hahah yeah i did know about that. i thought you meant ideologically. it was kind of stupid to pretend that Hillary was doing something super-bad anyway, sheerly a political issue, so i don't have much problem with him reversing himself there. if he had a bunch of girlfriends he forces to get abortions regularly because he can't do without barebacking, that's something else.

keyes is one of those guys like Louis Farrakhan...he can talk rings around you and then you begin to feel he may be right...

I was listening to a farrakhan speech once on the radio and began hating white people.
