"But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites"
Remind you of anyone? Say, the media whores, Holier-than-thou Pharisees, and hypocrites of today's Republican party?
"Beware of practising your piety before others in order to be seen by them."
Remind you of anyone? Maybe someone who'd carry a bible along with his flight suit if it would finally get him elected President?
Radical words, for a Sunday morning, eh?
Who said them? Jesus.
Meaning that there's no reason whatever for Democrats Republicans an inch on religion. Arguably, the Bennets (gambling), Limbaughs (drugs), Falwells (whores, and not just media ones), and Bushes (lies) have set back religion far more than legions of '60s diehards could. POTL, all of them; Jesus would have understood instantly.
Which is why it's good that Dean is speaking out on this issue:
Bingo! (That one's for you, Bill Bennett.) And where are all the other candidates on this one? Still doing Bush Lite?
FUX is right on top of this, of course ("Analysts Question Dean's New Discussion of God") and we can expect the rest of the state-run media to follow. If only Dean could be like Whiney Joe—openly discussing faith, and a loser too! How ideal...

"Let's get into a little religion here," Dean said at a morning meeting with voters in response to a question about his beliefs. "Don't you think Jerry Falwell reminds you a lot more of the Pharisees than he does of the teachings of Jesus? And don't you think this campaign ought to be about evicting the money changers from the temple?"
