Smirking Hickabee
Isn't it amazing how self-pitying and self-aggrandizing the religious freaks in this country are? It's not enough that they can make straight-faced professions of "faith" at election times and impose their language on everything from the Pledge of Allegiance to the currency. It's not enough that they can claim tax exemption and even subsidy for anything "faith-based." It's that when they are even slightly criticized for their absurd opinions, they can squeal as if being martyred and act as if they are truly being persecuted.
Christopher Hitchens on top form criticising Mike Huckabee, "who is an unusually stupid primate but who does not have the elementary intelligence to recognize the fact that this is what he is".
