"You can't pimp God." - Congr. Emanuel Cleaver on Full Court Press

Was I the only one to hear my congressman, the outgoing Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus say this on Full Court Press yesterday?

He made this statement in response to David Schuster's question about how he felt about various candidates' satung that they feel called on by God to run for office.

Congr. Cleaver (who is also an ordained minister) mentioned that he remembers the day when politicians rarely talked about their religious beliefs.
