Republican Haley Barbour, Mississippi Governor

I caught this quote in the NYT from Haley Barbour, "“Barack Obama has worn out three sets of knee pads, down on his knees praying that the conservative vote is split in 2010."

It sure feels like a subtle allusion to Muslims who do all their praying on their knees, as opposed to Christians who only do so, if they pray at bedtime, or Catholics. And it's no wonder, for a guy that called himself a "fat redneck" would offer that, because everyone knows slavery is wrong, there's no point to talking about it.

That's what you can expect from even mainstream Republicans in office.
