Hero/Hack: Of Popes and Kingmakers
Pope Benedict XVI is my hero for this week. 
However, I feel that the bigger hacks in this case are those who endlessly accused Bush, Cheney, and Rove of any wrong doing in this matter.VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope Benedict hit out Friday at Canada for allowing same sex marriage and abortion, saying they result from Catholic politicians ignoring the values of their religion.
"In the name of tolerance your country has had to endure the folly of the redefinition of spouse, and in the name of freedom of choice it is confronted with the daily destruction of unborn children," the Pope told a group of bishops from Ontario.
Such laws, he said, are the result of "the exclusion of God from the public sphere."
This is a Pope who truely understands what is at stake.
My hack this week is Richard Armitage, the cause of Plamegate:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 — Expressing regret for his actions and apologies to his administration colleagues, Richard L. Armitage, the former deputy secretary of state, confirmed today that he was the source who first told a columnist about the intelligence officer at the center of the C.I.A. leak case.
