The NonSequitur » In your head:
there is a rather significant disanalogy between race and religion. Kennedy could cease at any time to be Catholic (and, if the gossip is true, he ceased quite often and with different women), Obama cannot at any moment cease to be black. No amount of swearing on the Bible will lay to rest fears that he’s going to continue to be black. What is Obama supposed to say? "I’m not, you know (wink wink), one of those people"?Oh, and we discovered this week that being "Republican" is not a requirement to join the nut-ball right-wing "Christianity is being persecuted" clan.
