Ever thought to ask that over-blown christian:
George Wa&ker Bush, if he's ever stopped to
wonder who it was said: "The love of money is
the root of all evil," or who it was that threw
the capitalist money changers out of the temple;
or who it was suggested that it might be easier
to get a camel through the eye of a needle than
to get a (baptist) Rockerfella through the
pearly gates!
