Critics Blast Bush For Not Praying Hard Enough

WASHINGTON, DC—President Bush, already facing the lowest approval ratings in history, is coming under fire from former supporters over what they call his "ineffectual and incompetent" use of prayer for national guidance and assistance.

"Every time the president is criticized, he insists that the nation is in his prayers," said the Family Research Council's Bob Jensen. "That may be, but it's becoming more and more clear that these prayers are either too infrequent, too brief, or not strongly worded enough to be effective."

...

The harshest criticisms continue to come from members of the president's conservative base, who insist that the proper devotional words must be used in prayer.

"There is a real possibility that the president misrepresented the number of times he invokes Jesus' power each day in accordance with the strict guidelines of scripture," said Henry Holbrook, senior fellow at the Intercession Institute, a leading conservative prayer tank. "Is he clasping his hands together tightly enough? Is he using the proper forms of the pronouns 'thine' and 'thou'? What about the verb 'hast'?"

psh. All I have to say is that is pretty ridiculous.

Edit: Wow I'm tired. The rest of this post completely got left by the wayside. I thought in my head "Why won't it let me copy my favorite paragraph?! *Insert rant on the unfairness of the gods of CTRL+C and CTRL+V*. psh. All I have to say about that is that that is pretty ridiculous". As you can see, it didn't come out right.
(I liked the part about the White House prayer logs)
