Oh The Joy Of Outreach
Says Jennifer Graham in National Review:
As presidential picks go, Karen Hughes is no John Roberts. But really, who would be? There may be, somewhere, an Ivy-League-and-Oxford-educated Muslim woman who can eloquently and believably say “y’all†and “Allah Akbar†in the same sentence, and who raised vast sums of money for Republicans in the last two election cycles, but she has yet to come forward. Maybe she hasn’t gotten permission yet from her male guardian.
Ow.

Please tell me where the Constitution says, “one nation, under God.”
The mentioning of God was tossed around the hot room in Philly in 1787, but Ben Franklin led the charge to squash it, as the stifling memories of the Church of England married to the crown reveberated.
Hughes is as ill-informed on the American relationship between church and state as her adopted son.

[...] Jeff: “Please tell me where the Constitution says, ‘one nation, under God.’ “, he says. What, you want me to Google it for you? And then RITUALISTICALLY HANG MY HEAD IN SHAME when, as you and I know, that exact phrase isn’t in there–even though it is completely irrelevant to the argument you wanted to start– [...]
