Piety in the Game of Politics

The following quote from ex-Guv Jim Hunt is so rife with subtext and irony, we won't even bother to write the joke:

"I would be very careful to let people know that I believe in God and that we ought to treat people in a fair, decent, and I would say, Christian way. An awful lot of people in my party hadn't thought about that ... haven't seemed to care about that. That's a mistake." (N&O, scroll down)
