The only acceptable bigotry

The only acceptable bigotry
PBS has produced a documentary on George W. Bush's faith, and its influence on his Presidency. The media elite are appalled. A prime example is Alessandra Stanley of the New York Times. Chris Weinkopf, an editor of the Los Angeles Daily News outs her for her bigotry in The American Enterprise online. The money grafs:

It's hard to imagine similar treatment of other major politicians. No one would ever suggest that Joe Lieberman is, well, too Jewish for the Presidency. Nor did the press ever much fret that being Baptist might have rendered Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton immune to critical thinking. The media typically portray Senator John Kerry's heterodox brand of Catholicism as a badge of honor.
