Interesting question about tonight: Will Rick and Newt wear their ashes?

[Keystone Phil]

Today is Ash Wednesdah, the beginning of Lent. Will the two Roman Catholics wear their ashes?

Pardon my ignorance but I've always been unsure about Protestants wearing ashes (and Mormons, for that matter). If they wear them, do you think Paul and Romney will have them on their foreheads as well?

Santorum pretty much has to, unless he waits until after the debate to get them.

He'll probably get them extra big to be an attention whore.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I don't think Mormons recognize Ash Wednesday. Some Protestants do, but many Protestant churches also encourage people to NOT wear the ashes afterwards.

will Romney wear his magical undies?

will Romney wear his magical undies?

I assume he always does.

Santorum probably will.  I'd give Gingrich a 50/50 chance.

Whether or not Newt does, Callista will and will be by his side.

Callista has an excellent reason to stay by Newt's side.  It lowers the chances she'll go from being Newt's third wife to being Newt's third ex-wife.

Will either give up their campaigns for Lent?

Y'know, it just might be possible that the reason someone doesn't have their ashes is because they accidentally rubbed off. My story every year.

Anyone remember last year or the year before when Joe Biden had his ashes and the media people were wondering what was going on? "Did he hit his head or something? Gosh, I hope he's okay."

[retromike22]

I remember John Kerry had his in 2004.

If a liberal Catholic showed up to an Ash Wednesday debate without ashes, the right wing Catholics would be flipping out right now...

[Keystone Phil]

So no Rick ashes?

And look like one of those sketchy dot heads? In public? Don't you guys realize there's a campaign to be won here?

I didn't think about that, but it happened to a few of my friends who just came over for a meeting.

Okay, am I really the only one who doesn't know what the flying f&ck that means?

[tpfkaw]

And the answer is no because Ricky-boy wants to continue the misconception in boob-voter's mind that he's in fact an evangelical, while Newton wouldn't be caught dead in a church without a television camera in tow.

It's Ash Wednesday.

Yes but I had no idea people put ashes on themselves or whatever.

Yeah, amusingly, I didn't find out about it until I went to college and actually knew some Catholics.
