The only one whose knickers are bound to be in a twist over the grandiose gesture of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "praying" for U.S. President George W. Bush, is opponent Cindy Sheehan.
Pelosi rang George W. to tell him she is praying for him and praying that he would change his mind and sign a children's health insurance bill, which expands a federal insurance program by $35 billion over five years--far in excess of Bush's own proposal.
Catholics are taught that they should never pray for money, but as far as most politicians go, money from the public purse is only taxpayers' money anyway.
