Oliver Willis:

Oh, Fred, the religious far right can’t like that.

Talking to reporters later, Thompson, a former Tennessee senator, said his church attendance “varies.”“I attend church when I’m in Tennessee. I’m in McLean right now,” he said referring to the Virginia suburb of Washington, D.C., where he lives. “I don’t attend regularly when I’m up there.”

Thompson said he usually attends church when visiting his mother in Tennessee and isn’t a member of any church in the Washington area.

Not to be too much of a contrarian, but actually, the religious far right couldn’t care less.  Ask President Buddies-With-Jesus how many Sunday church services he’s attended in Washington, DC, in the seven years he’s lived here.  Oh yeah, and how about naming the church he belongs to?

Call this yet another reason why, when people say Democrats need to make more of an effort to understand so-called “values voters”, I say “values voters” should first make more of an effort to not be completely irrational nutcases.
