It All Depends Upon Your Definition of "Moral" and "Righteous"

Heard on a local Christian talk show:

Caller: "[George W. Bush] led the country through 9/11 and Katrina in the most moral and righteous way possible."

Host: "I don't think it would have been possible for him to do it in an immoral way. It's his moral core."

The host, Jerry Bowyer, had previously been on a secular station here in town. Though he prides himself, as all talk show hosts do, on his objectivity and lack of partisanship, it's pretty easy to see where his sympathies lie, as evidenced by the all-smiles photo of him and Condoleezza Rice and the fact that he was invited to broadcast from the Bush White House on at least one occasion.

Apparently partisanship and access are more important than such things as the lies that led us into an unconstitutional war with Iraq, the fact that the White House lied to Congress about the proposed cost of the Medicare prescription drug benefit, the hundreds of billions of dollars in additional spending begun under Bush, and the fact that no one--but no one--is held accountable for any failures in this administration. For some strange reason I thought that these sorts of things qualified as immoral or unrighteous. Silly me. I forgot that they're only immoral and unrighteous when they're perpetrated by Democrats.
