I always attributed it to my paranoia. But, think of the caricature (a former FReeper) posted of Pres. Bush kicking Darwin. I can easily see that used in D*m propaganda.
Planting inflammatory cr@p here, to quote it back later as typical FR (and by extension GOP) attitudes or manners, is not beyond the ethics of power-mad l*b*r*ls
I think the creationist label is a slam on Bush that people like Gary Trudeau love to perpetuate. He's an Ivy-Leaguer with a fine mind, if verbally a bit prone to ... Bushisms.
There's no question he's very religious, but I think (sure hope, anyway) that he's not the kind to reject science for theology.
