Thy will be done...

Kristoff dug up this nugget in the Times today. From http://dutyisours.com/gwbush.htm:

Duty is ours; results are God’s. This is true. We who did our duty to stand firm may have compelled God to have mercy on us so G.W. Bush is president despite losing the popular vote to Al Gore and winning by merely ~500 votes in Florida. God defeated armies of Philistines and others with confusion. Dimpled and hanging chads may also be because of God’s intervention on those who were voting incorrectly.

Why is GW Bush our president? It was God's choice.

God's choice? I thought it was the Supreme Court's. Of course, Scalia believes a more sophisticated variant of this claptrap, so the lunatics really are in charge of the asylum.
