I am not a big fan of Rev. Jerry Falwell's liberal politics and soft-on-sin approach to religion, but the homer atheists have been ripping Rev. Falwell apart even before the body has reached room temperature. Read the transcript of what a smelly, boozed-up Christopher Hitchens said about the Reverend last night on CNN:
HITCHENS: The empty life of this ugly little charlatan proves only one thing: that you can get away with the most extraordinary offenses to morality and to truth in this country if you will just get yourself called Reverend.
Who would, even at your network, have invited on such a little toad to tell us that the attacks of September the 11th were the result of our sinfulness and were God's punishment if they hadn't got some kind of clerical qualification?
People like that should be out in the street, shouting and hollering with a cardboard sign and selling pencils from a cup.
