In res Pontifex Maximus et Chimpulus Bushii:

This unctuous moralizing about family life and sexuality is pretty rich coming from a gang that has presided over the most widespread, elaborately concealed child abuse scandal in the history of religion. But then, rank hypocrisy has never been a bar to militant self-righteousness. Witness John Paul’s fellow public scold in Washington. Not content with the pope’s merely rhetorical flourishes, Bush takes a more pre-emptive approach to inconvenient women — condemning thousands of them to gruesome, entirely preventable deaths with a simple stroke of his pen.

Now that is a mighty thundering from the left. It’s a beautiful thing to read. Well done, Chris Floyd of the Moscow Times.

Well done.
