The Word from Wasilla | Salon

"We do know Sarah personally and she knows we pray for her," the Rev. Dennis Hotchkiss told us when we called him hours after the confrontation between the beautiful and bold heroine from the farthest frontier of the country and the seasoned lion of the Senate. That night, pastor Dennis had gathered some of his flock in the church -- not to watch the debate: "We didn't want to be distracted" -- for 90 minutes of intense intercessory prayer, including speaking in tongues.


And there are people out there who actually believe Ms. Beaverhausen would be capable of separating her religious beliefs from her job?

Oh, then that explains why I couldn't understand her. I'd really crack up if she pulled a rattlesnake out of her purse during an interview

Do a search on Youtube - I'm sure there are clips of it. It's done in far-right evangelical off the charts nutty churches. It sounds like someone posessed by the devil if you ask me, if I thought people could be posessed by the devil!

YouTube - Who Said Children Couldn't Get the Holy Ghost

(warning, might freak you out)

That's not some sect hiding in a compound in Texas or Utah somewhere, that's your average Pentecostal Church. Nuggin futs.

They just make it up. No one wants to challenge it, because they feel they would be challenging God.
It is all a joke.

Apparently, despite all the prayer, even God wasn't able to help Sarah through that particular self-inflicted travesty. I guess, like the rest of us, He was laughing too hard.
