Seriously? Aqua Buddha?

The Kentucky Senate race is proof that we are living in the post-sanity world of politics. Democratic Senate candidate Jack Conway decided that taste, class, decency and credibility were no longer necessary. Conway ran an advertisement in which he accused Republican opponent Rand Paul of belonging to a secret society when he attended Baylor 30 years ago that makes fun of Christians. The advertisement further accused Paul of having tied up a woman and forced her to worship an idol of a god called Aqua Buddha. Conway's source for this rather incredulously story? The unsubstantiated accusations of the woman who claims to have been tied up. At a recent debate, not only did Conway refuse to apologize, he repeated the accusations as if they were set-in-stone facts. Paul, rightly in my view, refused to shake Conway's hand after the debate. I hope Conway loses a ton of votes over this.
