Haven’t I told you?  The Second “Faith-Based”  director to smell a rat.  Another sign/bit of evidence  to suggest (now,  for the second time…at least)  that Bush’s “Faith-based” initiative was political maneuvering, and never actually supported with the  funds needed.  John Diulio,  the previous “Faith-based initiative” czar,  told the same story to Ron Suskind over two years ago. How many more such testimonies are needed to suggest to the “political” Christian Right that they’ve been used by someone not at all interested in them except for their votes?

Calls and e-mails to the White House have not been returned.

Seems like there have been an increasing number of such calls to the White House on various and sundry matters.  White House remains “PUZZLED”.  More like BUSTED.
