Forget the supposed affair with Todd Palin look-alike Brad Hanson. Forget David Letterman’s hilarious, never-ending rants on last night’s Late Show.

The entertaining race for most absurd story of the week surroundng the John McCain-Sarah Palin presidential ticket was just won. By a landslide.

Below, this video unearthed from way back 2005, a certain future Alaska Governor and Republican V.P. contender accepts the blessing of Pastor Thomas Muthee, who asks Jesus to fund her political campaigns, and protect her from witchcraft. Really.

Looks like Sarah Palin and Barack Obama have more common than youth and enthusiasm. Let’s hear it for crazy pastors and YouTube church videos!
