Hey, if the guy gets THAT FAR [the inauguration] then he figures:

    1) It was divined, because there was no way in hell he could
    have been elected on political merits alone, or
    2) He actually IS our pipeline to GOD, and this is just another
    party where the "good word" [arf arf!] must be spread. Might
    I recommend here that a shovel would be the proper implement
    for the aforementioned spreading.
