So no more public "scatology" (eschatology) was Bush acknowledging to Miers that he can't talk about his real religious beliefs in his public addresses, especially those concerning the end of the world that he believes he's presiding over (creating).

Leave it to Bush to turn his and Miers religious beliefs into something about and obscenity. Of course that's how I feel about the religious right anyway so I kinda prefer the "Bushism" form.

Dan, would you care to expound on your feelings about the religious right and why you feel they are " ". Do you lump Bush into the "religious right" category? Would you lump all who voted for Bush and consider themselves Christians into the "religious right/ " category?
