Circling the Wagons

We hear a lot of nonsense on cable news television - to the extent that most of the self-expressed indignation is diluted into a pool of noise that's forgotten within 24 hours, but the comments made by Brit Hume this weekend on Tiger Woods converting from Buddhism to Christianity to save himself may have gotten the news anchor into some real trouble:



It's difficult to determine whether this will just fade away into the ashcan of forgettable (it probably will), but there's a certain line crossed when anyone from a secular medium attempts to proselytize in such a public fashion.

Hume probably won't lose his job, but he's clearly feeling the heat. Ergo, his appearance last night to defend the comments.
