Tempting yes, but I think I'll pass....

I haven't read David Kuo's book (Tempting Faith) about the the Bush Office of Faith-Based Initiatives during his time there but I gather from the news reports that there was no real "there" there. I agree with Digby that Bush and most of his cronies saw an opportunity to exploit the religious beliefs of the righties for their own gain and then laughed about their benefactor's gullibility behind closed doors. How anybody ever bought the Bush persona as a born again Jesus freak is beyond me. Those righties sure must feel like suckers though. Kinda funny when you think about it...all that time thinking that they had one of their own in the oval office and they were just being bullshitted the whole time. Ouch!
