White House punks Christians
Occasionally, Candorville features Reverend Wilfred, a Black minister who suddenly became a firebrand Republican Bush-endorser after receiving half a million dollars from the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. As time goes on, and more evidence emerges to corroborate what Candorville has been saying since 2004, fewer and fewer people write to me to challenge the character. In the latest in the recent parade of unsurprising surprises, a new book by a White House insider details how the Bush White House manipulated and mocked religious conservatives and used the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives as a political machine. Keith Olberman covers the book, in two parts.
Part One
Part Two

I didn't think Olberman was outraged that Christians got the shaft, I thought he was outraged that these people fell for this, and will probably continue to support the Bushes after this revelation. They probably will, because of another big point of Kuo's book, which is that evangelicals no longer talk about helping the poor, they only talk about divisive social issues like abortion and gay marriage.
