In the beginning, the Baby Jesus wasn't the Baby Jesus at all. He was just a mean college Republican. This was in the days when Ralph Reed was a conservative student contributing clumsy columns to the Red & Black newspaper at the University of Georgia.
I also got my start contributing clumsy columns to the Red & Black, a few years before Reed did. But I didn't become a born-again Christian. I became a trashy newspaper writer. Reed became a multimillionaire religious, political and corporate operative and, now, a candidate for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor of Georgia - his first giant step toward the White House.
Perhaps our column content sent us down separate paths. I wrote an advice column called "Captain Hygiene," with which I attacked student senators and fraternity people.
Reed, on the other hand, used his column to attack an Indian.
