Getting Medals Instead of Giving Them!

In case you thought Rick Warren was a new kind of moderate evangelical who is not an adjunct of the Republican Party, at Saddlebck Church today he will be presenting George W. Bush with the International Medal of PEACE for his work on HIV/AIDS prevention. Bush has earned some plaudits for combating HIV, particularly in Africa, but I hardly think that's what this is about. This is about giving George W. Bush the International Medal of PEACE.

He deserves this medal about as much as... well, people like George Tenet and Paul Bremer and Paul Wolfowitz and the other crew to whom Bush has handed out medals.
