how do you think Jackson's piety differs from GWB's? Jackson was much more Pious. The Media is overblowing it because they are extremely secular, and dislike Evangelicals that mean it. Most Politician's fake it, as you know. Bush did a year of "Bible Study" to get off booze. This is a very common practice in the south, and you come out of that with his vocabulary. Shaara talks about the negative reaction that a lot of people had to Duval's Lee. "A pious wimp" is what he often hears. He said that, on the set, Duval was Lee. The re-enactors all felt it, and remarked on it. He said the six hour version of "Gods and Generals" coming out has a lot more "Lee" in it. Shaara finds that people can accept the language that we find stilted today much easier when it is written than when it is spoken, and that is why they are turned off by the "Lee" in the film. Isn't it funny how people can lap up the overblown religiosity of the "Reverend" Jackson and Sharpton, which they know is fake, while objecting to Bush's sincerity.
