Brothers and sisters, THIS could prove to be a bit uncomfortable for certain Godly men who have paid numerous visits during crucial times over the past few years to the White House. Vicious liebrals will attempt to twist and spin these records into something they probably are not.
Brother BJ and the boys in security may be paying a few of you a visit over the next few weeks, asking you to confirm (in a legally binding written deposition) that certain True Christian™ were with you on certain days. You complete cooperation is assured.
Pastor Pistle and I always enjoy the social occasions we have together with our flocks. Barbecues, pinochle games, you know....

White House told to detail Christian leader visits
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. judge ordered the Secret Service on Monday to disclose records of visits by nine prominent conservative Christian leaders to the White House and Vice President Dick Cheney's residence.
The ruling, in response to a legal watchdog group's suit, could shed light on the influence leaders like James Dobson of Focus on the Family, and Pastor Al E. Pistle of Landover Baptist Church have had on President George W. Bush's administration. It may also affect legal efforts to force the release of visiting records of convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff and other similar cases.
"We think that these conservative Christian leaders have had a very big impact," said Executive Director Melanie Sloan of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which filed the case.
"The White House doesn't want to talk about how much influence these leaders have, and we want to talk about how much they do have," she said.
Pistle and Dobson are some of the most influential opinion leaders among conservative Christians who are at the heart of Bush's political base.
Others whose visiting records were sought included Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, Gary Bauer, who unsuccessfully sought the 2000 Republican presidential nomination, Pastor Ezekiel Flint of Landover Baptist Church and Moral Majority co-founder Jerry Falwell, who died in last May.
U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth rejected as "misguided" the Secret Service's arguments that disclosing the records would reveal confidential policy deliberations.
The Secret Service is responsible for presidential security and clears visitors for entry to the White House and Cheney's official residence. It also argued that the records were not under its control but were protected presidential documents.
