\t\t\t\t— My old buddy Mike Honda was on O’Reilly’s Fox News show tonight, opining about school prayer, and he made a perfect fool of himself. This former schoolteacher declared that only Christians use the term “God,” that the words “under God” were added to the Pledge through constitutional amendment, and that Thomas Jefferson wrote the Constitution (he wasn’t even at the Convention.) Honda is as nice a guy as you’ll ever want to meet, and he was very good to me when he was in the Assembly, but he’s clearly dumber than a pile of rocks, poor dude. At least he isn’t teaching school any more, just hanging out in Washington where nobody much notices his mental deficiencies.
