Bush's own church (Methodists) condemn "this unjust and immoral" war
Think this might hit home with DUHbya? Or does he have a direct line to the Boss that bypasses those measly bishops?

Ninety-five bishops from President Bush's church said Thursday they repent their "complicity" in the "unjust and immoral" invasion and occupation of Iraq.

"In the face of the United States administration's rush toward military action based on misleading information, too many of us were silent," said a statement of conscience signed by more than half of the 164 retired and active United Methodist bishops worldwide.

1. He'll never know about it; he doesn't read and you know damn
well he doesn't go to church. He couldn't care less about what his own church thinks.

3. He's Methodist?
I always thought he was a Baptist for some reason. Who knew?

4. He is spoon fed. Think about what it must like be for Card, his wife,
Hughes, Bartlett - or whoever is still there. If they tell him anything like this news about the ministers, they have to weigh and consider whether he's going to take revenge - or whether his ill feelings towards someone he thinks betrayed him might slip out in a speech or a snub or a deliberate action dictated by him.

5. The United Methodist church has nothing for which to repent.
Those same ninety five bishops urged Bush not to enter into this war.
