On "Fresh Air" right now! David Kuo, former head of "Faith-based" office!

Speaking about his disillusionment with the way the Bushies used the "Faith-base Community" for political gain! (new book) <http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6289874>

Then, I guess, she's going to have the Bush Yes Man on to tell us all that everything he said was a lie.

4. I saw him yesterday
and thought he was kind of weird. He says Bush is a man of faith, then criticizes him for his politics which have been pretty much giving the religious right whatever they want. Says the WH used the evangelicals to stay in power but doesn't do much for them. I beg to differ. THey have two religious conservatives appointed to the Supreme Court. They've got anti-gay legilation hitting nearly every state, they are whitling away at Roe v Wade.

So maybe some staffers were a bit snarky. BFD. The evangelicals are getting what they want. I doubt they care that much about being called nuts. Outcome matters and the outcome for the evangelicals has been very good. Too good IMHO.

5. They were both on 60 minutes last Sunday
real insightfull stuff. About how Rove called the religous leaders kooks and crazy. about how they had a right wing trade show - & there was nothing about the poor in it. How the real meaning of Jesus is being twisted...

6. Terry probably won't bring on a RW
talking head to refute Kuo.

Remember what happened when O'Lielly was on and he walked off.
