More from the saintly George W. Bush years

We already knew that more than 130 graduates from Pat Robertson's Regents Law School were placed in the Justice Dept. during the Bush administration and that one 32 year old from that suspect school reached number 3 in the department and led the firings of U.S. attorneys that became a scandal.

We have learned that Defense Department head Rumsfeld laced his war recommendations to the President with Bible verses in order to get approval.

Now we learn that we are stuck with a military chaplain corps that is two thirds evangelical and pentacostal Christian while only 22% of soldiers profess that religious approach. It's further been reported in Newsweek that these chaplains see their main role as one of distributing Bibles in U.S. occupied territories as a way to spread the word. They boast that as many as 500,000 Bibles translated into Arabic have been distributed in one year.

Onward "Christian" soldiers, the George and Laura Bush legacy lives on.
