One of the more amusing parts of Bryan Burrough’s review of the Sullivan book is his line that the full extent of the danger posed to the United States by fundamentalist Christianity has only become obvious now, “after the country has been run by a born-again Christian for six years.”

Where was Burrough in the 1990s, when Bill Clinton called himself a…born-again Christian, and Al Gore called himself a…born-again Christian? And Burroughs might be astonished to learn that it didn’t even start there, that born-again Christians — some of them Democrats — were running the country even earlier than that.
