THE CORNER - JUST ONE MORE [KJL ]
Imagine if a priest endorsed Bush in such a way.
A few hours later, a Roman Catholic priest in nearby Chillicothe praised his religious beliefs at a Saturday afternoon service arranged for the traveling candidate.
"If dare we say by the grace of God the brother should be the one chosen to lead, it is our hope he will one day come back to us and celebrate with us as president of the United States, not in this small room, but in the church where we will do it openly, publicly, proudly," the Rev. Lawrence L. Hummer of St. Mary's said on Saturday.

UH, DID HE MAKE THIS CLEAR, OR DID HIS AIDES TELL THE WASHINGTON POST THAT HE MADE IT CLEAR? [KJL ]
The religious divide, not unlike the political one, comes down to siding with liberals in the church over the more orthodox conservatives. Kerry, for example, has broken with some Catholic leaders who say it is a sin for a politician to support abortion rights. In the final debate, the Democratic candidate made it clear he opposes abortion as an "article of his faith," but would never appoint a Supreme Court justice who favors overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision establishing a woman's right to an abortion.

AND ANOTHER THING [KJL ]
We’re supposedly supposed to be freaked when Bush talks about religion. Because he actually believes it. Listen to Kerry—just oozes sincerity, right? Oy
’Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come,’ Kerry intoned Sunday morning at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. ‘Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.’ He told the crowd of 1,500 he wasn't there to preach but went on to, well, preach about the Good Samaritan, the emptiness of a faith devoid of deeds and God's high calling to love one another -- before criticizing from the pulpit President Bush over Social Security and jobs.
I won’t even get into the legality of this…funny, nor will the MSM, or the FEC, or the IRS…

HE’S A SENATOR…HE’S A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE… [KJL ]
No, he’s a preacher. The Washington Post begins what might be a perverse sorta "holy week" for the Kerry camp this week. He’s apparently going to give a big “faith” speech this week. I’m hoping it’s as completely convoluted as his previous attempts. But, on the other hands, would they actually send him out there with a terrible script. |
