Rev. Dr. W. David Hager, a Bush stealth-appointee to the Advisory Committee for Reproductive Health Drugs in the Food and Drug Administration, was instrumental in putting "Plan B" emergency contraceptives into legal limbo in the United States. But he didn't mind years of ass-raping his wife while she had narcoleptic seizures and leaving a check by the bed the next morning. Just the sort of fellow to be making decisions on the welfare of women, and to be delivering sermons on Sunday mornings. Thank you Jesus!
"America was never innocent. We popped our cherry on the boat over and looked back with no regrets. You can't ascribe our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. You can't lose what you lacked at conception.
"Mass-market nostalgia gets you hopped up for a past that never existed. Hagiography sanctifies shuck-and-jive politicians and reinvents their expedient gestures as moments of great moral weight. Our continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight."
