The Top Story

I don't find it strange that the rants of a retired man of the cloth is the top story on all the cable news shows. After all, we're enjoying five years of peace and prosperity, a robust stock market, a strong dollar, and a popular president. It reminds me of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. As hundreds of people were drowning, Fox and other stations continued to prattle on about the mystery of the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. It's especially delicious to hear Karl Rove weigh in on another man's Christianity. Would it be rude to inquire how Rove's agnosticism shaped Bush's public policies or whether or not McCain is anything more than a country-club Episcopalian where, as the joke goes, where there are three or four gathered together, there is always a fifth?
