    Disturbing

    "Ellison, like Lambert, saw Allen's courtship as an opportunity. "If he loses, I'm losing my only White House connection," Ellison complained as he stood by the bar at Allen's "victory" party. "This has turned into a political nightmare." "

    Much as having Allen in VA politics has been a nightmare, what's equally disturbing is how many churches and religious leaders get in the political mix. I have a feeling that a lot of churches should have their tax-exempt status taken away.
