Hanna on Huck

Hanna Rosin is an editor at the Atlatntic. She wrote a piece for Slate on the "secret" Huckabee Sermon Tapes. There's not much there except for speculation, but she does manage to get her hands on one sermon (from Ebay). Here she excerpts Huck the pastor:

"How many times do we find ourselves on the surgery table of the Almighty God, who is trying to work His surgery to make us more like Christ, and we say 'God, let me out of here! Lord, don't touch me!' " he thunders towards the end. "It's not that we can't be Christians. The sad fact is most of us don't want to be enough to try our faith to the point of patience and perseverance."

Here is her reaction, which ends her essay:

It's one thing to know a presidential candidate was a pastor; that sounds worthy and leaderlike. But it's quite another to actually hear him work himself up into a lather about committing to Christ and not back it up with a joke.
