Babylon wears many disguises, man. But its face is always in a permanent screw. That helps you spot it.
New York Daily News: Hillary enemies find her cross just unbearable
La Schicklgruber (N-NY) violates a whole Rose-law-firm-filing-cabinet-full of EPA standards by frequently wearing asbestos sweaters.
Hillary Clinton has appeared a handful of times this summer and fall with a cross around her neck, and it's an image that touches a nerve with the people who hate her.
But Clinton is among the most religious Protestants seeking the presidency in 2008. If she gets the Democratic nod, she could well be matched against a less openly devout Republican.
Heehee! One of the most religious prods in the 2008 race is a babykilling nazi ghoul with a totalitarian fetish. That doesn't say a whole heck of a lot for for the denominations of heresy and schism, does it, kiddies?
"She's actually the real deal, although a lot of people don't think of her as religious," said John Green, a senior fellow at the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life in Washingon.
HEEHEE! Is this an Onion story?
Clinton, a Methodist like President Bush, though from a more liberal wing of that church, has appeared publicly wearing a cross intermittently during her time in the Senate. Her aides didn't respond to questions about whether she is wearing the symbol more now than in the past.
She should be thankful she doesn't burst into flame every time she puts one on.
But her faith has been part of her public character since she taught Sunday school as the First Lady of Arkansas and was an active member of a Washington church as First Lady.
OH PUH-LEEEEEEEZE! Not the Sunday school teacher one again! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
The Atlantic Monthly reported recently that she's a member of an elite prayer group of about a dozen senators, including conservative Republicans like Rick Santorum and Sam Brownback whose Christianity is central to their politics.
Rick Santorum doesn't need to wear his crucifix. He votes like a good Catholic.
If Hitlery behaved like a Christian (Stay with me here, you prods. I know this smacks of good works, but just think for a minute.) instead of a bloodthirsty left-fascist thug, fewer people would doubt her sincerity.
Of course, if wishes were horses...
Clinton's public displays of faith anger her critics, who see her as an opportunist - more than 800 people wrote comments, most of them attacking her, below her photograph on the Daily News political blog.
But her public devotion is in striking contrast with many of the front-runners vying for President, and particularly the Republicans, most of whom are quite distant from the born-again Christian faiths of their most energetic partisans.
Rudy Giuliani is a Catholic on his third marriage. Massachussetts Gov. Mitt Romney is a Mormon, not a mainstream Protestant. Sen. John McCain is an Episcopalian who has kept his faith out of his public life to the degree that longtime adviser Marshall Wittman said he wasn't sure whether the senator attends church.
Repansycans, all.
"Sen. McCain goes to church every Sunday that he can. He is devout, but very private about it," said McCain spokeswoman Elaine McMenamin, who offered to put a reporter in touch with McCain's pastor.
