And You Thought Jesus Camp Was Disturbing

Actually, I haven't seen Jesus Camp yet, but even from what I've heard, I wonder if it might not be rivaled in scariness by the anecdote at the top of this New York Times article:
TOPEKA, Kan., Oct. 12 -- Grace Mosier lives with her mom and dad, goes to birthday parties, takes ballet classes and is just like a lot of other 6-year-old girls. Except that she happens to be obsessed with Dick Cheney.

"I really, really like him," says Grace, who can tell you what state the vice president was born in (Nebraska), where he went to grade school (College View, in Lincoln) and the names of his dogs (Dave and Jackson). She gets her fix of Cheney fun-facts by visiting the White House Web site for children. It says there that his favorite teacher was Miss Duffield and that he used to run a company called Halliburton.

So when Mr. Cheney came to town Thursday, Grace was at Forbes Field, holding a little American flag and a sign that said, "Welcome, Mr. Vice President, pet Dave and Jackson for me." She watched him get off Air Force Two, step into a car and speed off to a fund-raiser.

"Like a rock star coming to town," says Dene Mosier, Grace's mother. And while Mr. Cheney might be an unusual object for a 6-year-old's fixation, it is probably less unusual here, in the heart of Cheney Country.

Comments:
I knew that right-wing freaks considered Cheney to be a rock star, but I'm still in denial about it.

What gets me about Cheney is his opposition to science and stem cell research. Here's a dude that would have literally died in his 30's from heart disease had it not been for technology (and wealth, of course). He is the living embodiment of medical technology, and yet...

Mrs. J.R. and I will see Jesus Camp on Thursday. Will report back.
