Evil, but beautiful thought...

The political play of the week from CNN's Bill Schneider went to justice Roy Moore of Alabama of Ten Commandments fame...

an excerpt -

Could Moore have political plans?

"He'll be back as a United States senator, or he's back as chief justice because he can run again. Or he'll be back as governor," said Terry Butts, an attorney for Moore.

Moore could challenge Gov. Bob Riley in the GOP primary in 2006.

Remember Riley? He sponsored a tax hike plan that Alabama voters soundly defeated in September.

"I will be making an announcement next week which could alter the course of this country," Moore declared on Thursday.

That's next week. This week, he gets the political Play of the Week.

Moore deliberately sought the showdown and invited media attention. He wanted his trial held in a sports arena with thousands of spectators witnessing his martyrdom.

Statement that interests me - "I will be making an announcement next week which could alter the course of this country"  Moore declared on Tuesday.

Moore announcing to run against Senator Richard Shelby, or Bob Riley would not really change the "course of this country."  It would only affect Alabama...  What would have a larger impact?  Challenging president George Bush in the Republican primaries.  He almost certainly would not win, but he could divide the GOP enough to power up the Dems for victory.  This man obviously likes to do things big... will he sabatoge his party and ideology for his own personal prestige?
