04/22/2004: "Get the doc-Ralph's off his meds again"

Theologian and presidential candidate Ralph Nader has weighed in on the stunning revelation in Bob Woodward's new book on Iraq that George Bush, Christian, has prayed "for the strength to do the Lord's will." According to the Christian Science Monitor, Nader is appalled at the outburst of presidential religiosity:

We are dealing here with a basically unstable president...a messianic militarist. A messianic militarist, under our constitutional structure, is an unstable office-holder. Talk about separation of church and state: It is not separated at all in Bush's brain, and this is extremely disturbing.

Sooooooo...anyone who seeks to know and do the will of God is unstable and has messianic pretensions. And Ralph Nader is so completely able to compartmentalize his thinking that his theological, spiritual, and moral convictions (whatever those might be) never, ever influence his thinking on public policy. And he has doubts about Bush's stability?
