Without doubt a non-religious ceremony would have been immensely
preferable but Obama was reaching out to that mass of religious
ideologues who supported Bush -- there were quite a few of them.  I
recall one of my favorite headlines in 2004 which came from a Kingdom
newsrag -- The Daily Mirror -- on November 2, 2004: "How can
59,084,087 people be so stupid?"

I'm hoping November 4, 2008, elicited a much better headline.
