Remember when Pat Robertson declared that Hurricane Katrina was God punishing New Orleans for being sinful? Remember when he said that the great tsunami was God punishing Thailand, Indonesia, etc, killing millions of people because they weren’t born Christian? Remember after the Haiti earthquake he announced on television that God was punishing Haitians for their ancestors having made a “pact with the devil” to free them from slavery, a combination of good old right wing historical revisionism, racism, and Christianizing?

Well, it’s clear to me. The winter storm of the century has hit Washington DC, and God is punishing Congress for listening to lobbyists and the assholes on C Street and failing to pass meaningful health care and economic reform.

So there. Somebody had to say it.

Did the fact that everybody didn’t pray hard enough for Senator Byrd’s death result in a member of the caller’s prayer group dying? Is this guy serious? You be the judge.

Showing his true colors, Mike Huckabee revealed in front of a fawning audience his plans to turn the country into a theocracy by amending the constitution to accord with his personal delusions of what god ‘thinks’ he should do. More fun than a barrel of monkeys, Mike. You and the chimp, that is…

I haven’t read the New Yorker article, and I don’t know if I will, so I can only comment on what I have read in this blog entry.

The question is, how likely is it that Bush thinks god told him to invade Afghanistan? If Bush not only believes that is true but is willing to speak to others about it, then quite possibly he also believes the same thing about invading Iran.

Discussion seems to be swirling around the fact that the source seems to be a senior Palestinian official, who would of course have to be lying. This therefore means that our very own Prez would not believe such an insane thing. Besides, everyone knows he never lies…don’t they?

The reason I believe this to be true is because the reason Bush ran for President in the first place is that GOD TOLD HIM TO. He has declared this to the applause of numerous right-wing crackpot fundamentalist audiences.

Doesn’t that make you feel safer?
