We Don’t Pray Together

England is giving Blair lots of grief for palling around with George Bush. Brits are really squeemish about Bush’s dogmatic Christian rhetoric. That’s especially interesting because this is the country the US broke away from because of its dogmatic Christianity.
The BBC’s Jeremy Paxman asked if he prayed with Bush.
Blair curtly responded:
“No, we don’t pray together. No, Jeremey, No.”
Newsweek was great to point out that in the US, politicians would have jumped at the chance to brag that they prayed with Bush, no matter how much that flew in the face of the establishment clause.
