“He was a spokesman for the Chief.”

Judas wasn’t a spokesman.

We laughed when Clinton called Bill Richardson a Judas. This is just as lame.

Neither Clinton or Bush are worthy to be compared to Christ.

No one is.

You’re right. This is lame.

Weren't all the Apostles more or less "spokesman", in the sense that they spread the message?

Callin a shabby traitor "Judas" is not equating anyone with Christ. It's just... well comparing one traitor with the most famous of all traitors. McClellan is a little Judas who would sell his soul for 30 pieces of silver.

The main thrust of this article is to compare Bill Richardson with Judas Iscariot. Merely calling someone a "Judas" does not imply, even indirectly, that the person he betrayed resembles Christ; rather, it is merely a figure of speech.

However, I'll grant you that this article does go out of its way to draw comparisons between the betrayers - to the point that it almost becomes allegory. So, I guess that I'll agree with you that the article is "lame" (though I wouldn't go so far as to say that it quite reached the depths of "tastelessness.")
