There�s a �funny� joke going around about S.C. Rep. Nikki Haley � have you heard it yet?
It presumes that the recently-announced Republican gubernatorial candidate will be well-received by evangelical voters in certain parts of South Carolina because she is, well, a �repeat convert.�
�They won�t be able to get enough of (Haley) in the Upstate,� goes the version of the joke that we heard. �Those Bible-beaters love someone who�s been born again � and again � and again � and again ��
Yeah � ba-doom-ching.
This attempt at �reincarnation humor� is obviously based on Haley�s Indian-American roots and the Sikh background of her parents, which Haley � a Methodist � reportedly respects but does not share.
