Time for Worst Person in the World nominees!
Oh, DUers, this is almost too easy. Look at the following link from today's Washington Post, from an article on why the religious left is standing up for the poor, but the religious right isn't joining them:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/13/AR2005121301764.html

"And Janice Crouse, a senior fellow at the Christian group Concerned Women for America, said religious conservatives 'know that the government is not really capable of love.'

"'You look to the government for justice, and you look to the church and individuals for mercy. I think Hurricane Katrina is a good example of that. FEMA just failed, and the church and the Salvation Army and corporations stepped in and met the need,' she said."

It's like shooting fish in a barrel, isn't it?

And then there's the story about Rush Limbaugh expressing a certain degree of glee about the fact that members of the Christian Peacemaker Team were being held hostage. (See Media Matters for that one.)

So have at it. Who are your nominees?

1. Rush is out for that particular offense.
Keith already got him for that one last week.

He'll have to come up with something new. (Of course, I'm sure he will.)

2. I must have missed that one!
Keith has "gotten" Limbaugh before (who, to be fair, probably deserves his own ring of hell near Bill O'Reilly in the Worst Person in the World feature), but I didn't realize he had been outed for his Schadenfreude over the Christian Peacemaker Team. Good for Keith and his alert staff.
