Easy marks for a White House con


I wonder if this willeven be reported on Fox News.

Easy marks for a White House con:

'Never give a sucker an even break,' W.C. Fields, the comical con man of so many old films, was famous for saying. He'd be right at home in the Bush White House.

For we now have it on fairly good authority that the Bush team, led by Karl Rove, exploited the gullibility of Christian evangelicals to further Republican political ambitions while privately scorning them as 'nuts' or 'ridiculous' or 'boorish' or worse. They mocked and laughed at their Christian shock troops, which is shabbily cynical but understandable.
