Sr. Helen Prajean slams Bush - calls him "untruthful"

[heidiho]

"It's hard to look at (Bush's) face on television because everything he says is so untruthful!!!"

In this week's TIME magazine, Sister Helen Prajean (Dead Man Walking) slams George W. Bush in her interrview.

"IN HIS STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH, PRESIDENT BUSH PRAISED DNA EXONERATIONS AND CALLED FOR MONEY TO TRAIN DEFENSE ATTORNEYS IN CAPITAL CASES. DO YOU FEEL REASSURED?"

Sister: "Hardly. See how many people in Texas can get access to DNA evidence even today. And in Texas, attorneys are appointed by judges. You can look at the pattern of judges appointing over and over again the same attorneys almost always get the death penalty. Honestly, it's hard to look at (Bush's) face on television because everything he says is so untruthful."

5. Sister is just showing Christian charity

If she weren't charitable, she'd probably call him a lying sack of shit!

3. It's "Prejean", but pronounced 'prayzhawn'

One of my 'sister' cajuns of whom I am exceedingly proud.

6. Prejean: Bush is sacreligious!

Prejean on Bush and the Karla Faye Tucker execution

LIKE WHAT? He claimed Karla Faye Tucker's execution was a crushing weight on him and said, "God bless Karla Faye Tucker," and then, after she was executed, he mimicked her. I hate the way he uses religion. It's a sacrilege to me. As Governor, he had the power to save a woman who had completely changed her life.

Thank you for speaking the truth, Sister Prejean.
