Congress Punk'd By Moonies
Somehow Reverend Sun Myung Moon got several U.S. Congressmen to host an event back in March in which Moon donned a crown, declared himself the "Messiah" and said he was "sent to Earth . . . to save the world's six billion people. . . . Emperors, kings and presidents . . . have declared to all Heaven and Earth that Reverend Sun Myung Moon is none other than humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent."
Since this was first reported by Salon.com, several of the lawmakers have claimed that they were duped into attending adding that they are now receiving calls from angry constituents wondering whether they were Moonies.
