Criminalizing Jesus?!

This morning (via Drudge Report) came this article concerning some recent comments from Hillary Clinton, the Jr. Senator from New York. Captain's Quarters is reporting on this as well, with some great analysis of the landscape in Israel during Christ's time, as to historically refute Clinton's comments about Christ being an "illegal immigrant".

Seriously, what is this? Clinton trying to suddenly invoke Jesus as to appease someone? If you're fooled by such a reference, please raise your hand. It's just a marketing tactic, that's all, just more positioning for a race in 2008 that she'll lose. Let the chess game continue.
