My Message of Redemption for Brit Hume
Ellis Wiener
HuffPost
Recently, former Fox "News" anchor Brit Hume expressed concern about Tiger Woods, noting, "Whether he can recover as a person I think is a very open question." Then Hume offered this bit of heartfelt advice:
The extent to which he can recover seems to me depends on his faith. He is said to be a Buddhist. I don't think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. My message to Tiger is, 'Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.
Yes, what better source (with the possible exceptions of the repellent Janet Parshall, the uber-smug John Gibson, and animatronic dominatrix Ann Coulter) of religious counsel than the former managing editor of Fox "News"?
At such moments, when one of the Republican Party's chief propagandists espouses advice about the soul, you can almost hear the ghosts of Moliere and Mark Twain smacking their foreheads and laughing. You can also sense, all across Fox Nation, viewers' heads nodding, as the faithful who used to think (and probably still do think) of George W. Bush as "a good Christian man" find their most cherished "value" confirmed.
