ask enough dumb people questions and you're bound to get a montage of stupidity.

On the upside, I was reading this on SA:

A Loss Of Faith
Former White House Insider Tells Lesley Stahl Staffers Called Evangelicals "Nuts" And "Goofy"
Oct. 15, 2006

(CBS) David Kuo is an evangelical Christian and card-carrying member of the religious right, who got a job in the White House in the president’s Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. He thought it was a dream-come-true: a chance to work for a president whose vision about compassionate conservatism would be matched with sweeping legislation to help the poor.

But Kuo says the so-called compassion agenda has fallen short of its promise and he blames President Bush for that in his new book.

As correspondent Lesley Stahl reports, he also says the White House was a place that cynically used religion for political ends and that White House aides ridiculed the very Christian leaders who helped bring Mr. Bush to office.

In his book, Kuo wrote that White House staffers would roll their eyes at evangelicals, calling them "nuts" and "goofy."

Asked if that was really the attitude, Kuo tells Stahl, "Oh, absolutely. You name the important Christian leader and I have heard them mocked by serious people in serious places."

Specifically, Kuo says people in the White House political affairs office referred to Pat Robertson as "insane," Jerry Falwell as "ridiculous," and that James Dobson "had to be controlled." And President Bush, he writes, talked about his compassion agenda, but never really fought for it.
........

Kuo himself often confused the two. He was a pioneer of the compassionate conservative movement, but began to go off the tracks when he, like other evangelical speechwriters, wrote for some of the stars of the Republican party, with hidden snippets of hymns and biblical phrases.

"A way to talk about faith without having people in the mainstream media identify it as faith," he explains.

As in this speech, delivered by President Bush, which Kuo didn’t write: "There’s power, wonder-working power in the good and idealism and faith of the American people."

If "wonder working power" sailed over your head, most evangelicals recognize it from a famous hymn.

"God and politics had become very much fused together into a sort of a single entity. Where, in a way, politics was the fourth part of the trinity. God the father, God the son, God the holy spirit, God the politician," says Kuo.

"You’re blowing the whistle on you. You’re the one who did this," Stahl remarks.

"I say this as someone who has lived it, not as someone who preaches it, as though I’m holier than thou. I am the least holy among thou," he replies.

........

Kuo says Towey and the White House were embarrassed when the Washington Post ran an article in September 2002 saying they were using the faith office to woo voters, even though the president had repeatedly pledged it was not political.

The White House shot down the Washington Post story, but now Kuo reveals it was all true, and what’s more – he’s the one who thought up the idea.

"This is your idea to tie this office, that was supposed to be non-partisan, you come up with this idea to tie it to the campaign?" Stahl asks.

"Uh-huh," Kuo affirms. "I want this initiative to work."

"And you think if you can get it tied – hooked in with the political people, that they’ll then come back and support you, is that the thinking?" Stahl asks.

"This is not rocket science or brain surgery, this is a matter of survival," says Kuo.

He says he went to the White House political affairs office, then run by Ken Mehlman, and offered to hold events at taxpayer expense for Republicans in tight races as a way of energizing religious voters.

Kuo says Mehlman was "thrilled."

"He just whipped off a bunch a names of particular races and said, 'We need to go there, there, there, there and there,'" Kuo says.
