go Dave - but it will be to no avail - maybe some bad media for the Rev.

one line from anyone at the White House, where black R pastor's have entre, saying it was a misunderstanding and your quest is dead

of course you do increase his media as well, and maybe make him a bit of a martyr to the christo bigots.....nationally......and he is black.......

nice slog stuff

Go Dave! I'm rooting for you! There are two possible outcomes- proving more White House hypocrisy, or sending Hutch to prison. Can't say I see a downside!

This is great. If nothing else, it could bring to the forefront the company Hutch was with on his trip... namely the crazy who thinks homosexuality was the root of national socialism / the haulocaust. The Bush administration may be full of right wing biggots, but no one wants to be associated with that extreme of rediculous crap.

I just finished reading David Kuo's book about working in the Office of Faith-Based Initiatives. After having read that, the possibility that someone in the Faith-Based Office made empty promises to Hutcherson that led him to believe that he was a special envoy is pretty high. According to Kuo, people like Hutcherson are seen the Bush Administration as "the nuts", people who are totally crazy, but useful for delivering votes.

They did this extensively in 2002, especially among African-American Christian groups. They went around promising money to all of these groups through the Office of Faith-Based Initiatives, but never delivered. So in 2002, there were a whole bunch of African American religious leaders who thought they were getting grants, but if the White House was asked, they'd say "nope, no money has been given out". There's a misperception that the White House doesn't know how much of a fool Hutcherson is. They just use it to their political advantage.

Way to go, Coffman.

So, either (A) Hutch is a complete dumb ass and an arrogant lying bigot, or (B) the White House is duping religious people for political gain and this whole "Office of Faith-Based Initiatives" is a sham.

Sweet! Either way, the more press and FBI investigations the better.

Go Coffman!

in the spirit of "follow the money" (from all the president's men) does the title of "envoy" come with a budget? or do the envoys do all their missionary work on their own or their flock's dime? it costs money to go visit latvia--who paid for that?

Media reports last year said that the White House had give 1.5 billion to Faith Groups from non allocated funding, via the special desk at the White House.....so the cash flow is real......or, perhaps that reportage was mistaken.

The Christo right is all they have left...

God time to extort money from Bush and company......tell your pastor

As for who paid for Latvia, gosh, the flocks to be fleeced.

I bet Hutcherson is the real CIA operative Cheney meant to out in 2003, but his Pacemaker skipped a beat and he outed Plame instead. But don't tell the media I said so.

I think Microsoft Corporation should fire Ken Hutcherson once and for all!

Now if only we had a nice US attorney to prosecute the bastard.

Go Dave - this is fagtacular!

I wonder if this might have any impact on Hutcherson's effort to repeal the Anderson-Murray bill signed into law last June?

I mean we really couldn't have a potentially convicted fellon trying to undertake such an effort now could we? Moihahahahahahahaha
