A PHARISEE STEPS ON HIS HOLY WEINER

Mullah James Dobson of Focus on the Family has delivered new tablets from on high, declaring that former Tennessee Senator and wooden actor Fred Thompson doesn't cut it as a potential presidential candidate. "I don't think he's a Christian," said Dobson.

But apparently serial adulterer Newt Gingrich does look sufficiently born again to Dobson.

But, really, just how "Christian" is Mullah Dobson himself prepared to get in his theocratic binge, rating the candidates by his personal scale of holiness while ignoring Jesus Christ in Matthew 7: "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get."

Has this country not yet had a snootful of divinely inspired leadership, as interpreted by self-appointed spokesmen for the will of God?
