Dumbass of the Decade
You assumed it would be George Bush, didn't you?
Well, there's a thundering in the distance, and it's the sound of Dennis Prager closing in on the President. I'd never heard of Prager until today, but his column today is a doozy. He says that Keith Ellison, new Congressman from Minnesota, and a practicing Muslim, must swear his oath on the Bible, and not the Koran, because not swearing in on the Bible is unAmerican.
And maybe it's unfair to lay the Dumbass crown solely on Prager and Prager alone. The list of trackbacks to this article reads like Knee-Jerk Wingnuts on Parade. Because if Ellison brings a book that, while holy to him, scares the easily-terrorized, it means we're only ten minutes away from Sharia Law. Aagh! Islamists hiding in the cupboard! When we said church and state are inseperable, we meant Christian faith!
What Prager and his legions of nitwits seem to forget is that Congressmen put their hands on the Bible and swear allegiance to the Constitution, and not the other way around.
