Biden: God Must Resign over Abu Gharib Abuse

I know politicians are given over to rhetorical flourishes every now and again, but this is a tad ridiculous....

Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., a key Democratic supporter of President Bush's decision to wage war on Iraq, said the president must demonstrate that he understands the "nature of the damage" caused by the abuse incident by "determining who is responsible, no matter how far up the chain of command this goes."

Once those people are identified, Biden said, Bush must "demand the resignations for whoever is involved in this policy, and that includes Lord God Almighty himself. It includes anybody involved."

I know it's hyperbole, but leave it to a Democrat to think that earthly politics counts that much.
