I know it's "fashionable" to take the piss out of this guy, and thanks to his idiocy it's kind of like shooting fish in a barrel (or quails in a barrel as his mate Cheney might say), but dear goodness it's hard not to.

From the page: "While newly released portions of White House prayer logs show that Bush's praying has actually gone up in recent months, critics are seeking to subpoena the documents in their entirety to determine the strength of those prayers. The harshest criticisms continue to come from members of the president's conservative base, who insist that the proper devotional words must be used in prayer. "There is a real possibility that the president misrepresented the number of times he invokes Jesus' power each day in accordance with the strict guidelines of scripture," said Henry Holbrook, senior fellow at the Intercession Institute, a leading conservative prayer tank. "Is he clasping his hands together tightly enough? Is he using the proper forms of the pronouns 'thine' and 'thou'? What about the verb 'hast'?" Susan DiDomenico of the National Prayer Task Force said her organization is seeking "full disclosure" of any and all prayers Bush may have skipped or manipulated to seem more effective or holy."

OK, I'm a few months late reviewing it, but it's still funny and it lambasts two things to which I'm passionately opposed: religion and Bush. Nothing wrong with that!

Heheheh, "critics blast bush for not praying hard enough"."Every time the president is criticized, he insists that the nation is in his prayers," said the Family Research Council's Bob Jensen. "That may be, but it's becoming more and more clear that these prayers are either too infrequent, too brief, or not strongly worded enough to be effective."

Well, the marriage made in hell of right-wing politics and fundamentalist religion got them into this mess. Tongue-in-cheek or not, there is truth here.
