It's hard to thumbnail it because it's so wierd. Like this...
From the pulpit to the pastures, Kerry is increasingly spreading a more spiritual message and visiting local churches, as he did the past two days in Ohio, to expound on the political lessons of the Bible's James and Saint Paul. In a weekend campaign swing through Ohio, Democrat John F. Kerry spoke at a Baptist church, above, and was a guest at a Catholic service.

"Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come," Kerry intoned Sunday morning at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. " 'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home." He told the crowd of 1,500 he wasn't there to preach but went on to, well, preach about the Good Samaritan, the emptiness of a faith devoid of deeds and God's high calling to love one another -- before criticizing from the pulpit President Bush over Social Security and jobs.

It goes on to disclose how Kerry has "discovered" how important faith is to voters in the heartland. Doh!

"Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home."

Did he play it on the bagpipes too?

What? He read Amazing Grace as if it was a speech?

What else did he say? Wait let me guess: "O, Lord my God. When I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds thy hands have made. When peace like a river attendeth my way. When sorrows like sea billows roll. A mighty fortress is our God. A bulwark never failing. Michael row your boat ashore. Hallelujah. Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the waters. When I die and they lay me to rest. Gonna go to the place that's the best. Going up to the spirit in the sky. That's where I'm gonna go when I die. Jesus is just alright with me. Jesus is just alright, oh yeah."

What a goofball.
