President Bush wanted to use a local church for a photo opportunity. Bush's advance person said to the pastor, "We will make a $10,000 contribution to your church if, during your introduction of the President, you say he is a saint."
The pastor agreed to do so and accepted the $10,000 contribution. When the pastor introduced the President before a nationally televised audience, the pastor said, "George Bush is a petty, self-absorbed hypocrite and nitwit. He stole the 2000 election. He has polarized the country. He has politicized science. He lied about his military record. He invaded a country for oil and had the gall to land on an aircraft carrier and pose before a banner stating 'Mission Accomplished.'
He continues to blur the line between church and state. Cronyism and corruption are rampant in his administration. He is the worst example of a Christian I've ever personally known.
But, compared to thingy Cheney, George Bush is a saint."
