Over at HuffPo, I break down a pattern with which long-time Prospect readers, particularly followers of the Pastor Strangelove chronicles, already know: that Bush’s speech smearing Obama as this century’s Neville Chamberlain is straight out of John Hagee’s playbook.

Who has a pastor problem now? McCain is trolling for votes by propping up the spiritual credentials of the pastor who equates diplomacy with coddling Nazis and thinks that war is a grand idea that God not only relishes, but requires. What would Jesus do, indeed.
