Who said, "Ya can't fix stupid"?

During the 2004 campaign, John Kerry was subjected to bitter invective from religious leaders and pundits for his stance on abortion. Raymond Burke, the Roman Catholic archbishop of St. Louis, went so far as to forbid Kerry Communion in his diocese, and Fox News commentator Sean Hannity opined that if Kerry couldn't support a major tenet of his religion "... he can go to another church."

All of this might be considered fair play except -- as Franken notes, no pro-choice Republican Catholics, including such notables as Rudolph Giuliani, Arnold Schwarzenegger and even a member of George Bush's own cabinet, were ever subjected to these sanctions or criticisms.

Franken quips that Hannity, a Catholic and a staunch proponent of the death penalty, may have since left the church in search of a religion that is "more bloodthirsty." While Hannity might be allowed some partisan license, it's difficult to see any appropriateness in Bishop Burke's hypocrisy.

As if there is no hypocrisy in Franken's words? This is from a review of Al Franken's book, "The Truth with jokes".

Apparently had he done any research at all or read any of the pastoral letters by Archbishop Burke, he might not come off as a clueless "comedian"...
