There were two demonstrations. One, the demonstration by Christian activists; and two, the governor’s response. Which is the more telling? I’d say the second one.

Huck’s got a problem. This doesn’t show the kind of equanimity we look for in a president. Another four years of petulant resentment at being questioned? Not an appealing prospect.

Man: I think it was, “Blessed are the cheesemakers”!
Gregory’s wife: What’s so special about the cheesemakers?
Gregory: Well, obviously it’s not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.

Good times.

Is America really this vicious or is it just the Republican leadership?

I have a couple of acquaintances who are Republican. Recently they’ve been talking about jail time and violence and guns. I’m guessing there is some kind of backdoor discussion going on among Republicans. This kind of violent behavior is often approved by the Republican electorate. It shows toughness and strong belief in your principles and a crazed willingness to do absolutely anything.

Remember how Reagan seemed half-loony about maybe starting an attack on the Soviet Union. Republicans didn’t chastise him for it. They thought he was wunnerful.

Now we’ve got the truly abnormal Bush and his supporters, though few, are incredibly supportive. They believe everything hook, line and sinker.

I certainly hope the “hook, line and sinker” group is and remains < 30%.</p>
