ANOTHER SELF-INFLICTED SHOT TO THE HEAD:

DNC Religion Adviser Steps Down Amid Criticism (Melanie Hunter, 8/05/04, CNSNews.com)

The Democratic National Committee's appointed religion adviser has resigned after a Catholic group criticized her for supporting an atheist's claim that the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional.

Rev. Brenda Bartella Peterson stepped down as the DNC's senior religion adviser, telling the Religion News Service that "it was no longer possible for me to do my job effectively."

When you're the Godless Party, what do you need a religious advisor for?
