Calling Dale Price!

Your country *and* your Church are calling. You and you alone can fisk this the way it so richly needs to be fisked.

So some Kennedy says Obama represents American Catholics better than the Pope.

The thing is, she says it like it’s a *good* thing. What she means, roughly, is that American Catholics agree with Obama about pelvic issues more than they agree with the Pope, which is true.

And if the Catholic faith were subject to a vote that would really matter. But the Faith, unlike American politics, does not exist to tell plump suburbanites what their itching ears want to hear. The rest of it is The Usual Article with stupid remarks about Benedict the Good Little Wehrmacht Soldier and so forth.

What can you expect from a magazine that thought it would tres chic to stop reporting news and let TeeVee Celebrity Stephen Colbert have a spin at the wheel as editor. Great comic genius, make no mistake. But since when does Walter Cronkite hand the news to Milton Berle to boost ratings? Newsweek is a TinaBrownified joke. Commentary like this editorial just confirms it.

Here, until Dale the Master has his way with the piece is a worthy takedown by Carl Olson.
