Tired of being erroneously sighted on pancakes and seeing his mother reduced to appearances on greasy servings of comfort food, Jesus has (finally) endorsed a candidate in Utah’s 3rd congressional district.

Television reporter-turned state Sen. Bennion http://www.bennionspencerforcongress.com/index.asp”>Spencer told the Salt Lake Tribune recently that if it was up to Jesus, he’d be the choice to replace Rep. Chris Cannon.

His comments triggered an escalating series of attacks in the fightin’ third, with both Spencer and his opponent Jason Chaffetz (a former kicker at BYU) accusing the other of being “sacrilegious.” Read the full story here.

Interestingly enough, the top endorsement listed on Spencer’s website come from “legendary anchor Dick Nourse.” More legendary than Jesus?
