We knew this was going to happen. A couple of weeks ago, as we were discussing the Christian support of torture, we could see it coming. Suddenly, without warning, Christians were going to emerge miraculously “Pro life.“ Like a mythological Phenix rising from the still hot ashes of a failed Presidential campaign, they would rise.

OK, so I’m being dramatic. But really, we did know this was coming, right?

I had to take a very deep breath the other night, as CNN showed the President looking campaign-like in glorious South Bend. Now,I’m no fan of Fox, but I have to say that he looked a little smug in the graduation regalia, with his blue velvet robe stripes glowing in the bright camera lights. Like he had won somehow, before he even spoke. And he was right. He did.
