No, "Lame, Marty" is lame.

The argument that "the entire communicative universe of symbolic and interpretive language" constitutes an actual endorsement of a candidate by one or more American Catholic bishops consists solely of noting that the bishops pointed to abortion as the pinnacle of evils in a society in complete consistency with their Church's constant teaching, and told Catholics they were morally obliged to vote as Catholics.

Had both of the two candidates endorsed limits on abortion at roughly the same levels, whatever that might be, and taken the same position on government funding of abortion, that dog might have legs.

They did not and it doesn't. But "A" for effort.
