And in the category of "just wrong":
So, two days ago, Barack Obama prayed at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. As is the custom, he placed his written paper in a crack in the wall.
A yeshiva student stole the prayer and sold it to an Israeli paper, which published it yesterday.
I'm not going to link to the text, because I'm pretty darn offended that this happened - although there wasn't anything objectionable in the prayer itself.
I know politicians are aware that they give up their privacy when they run for office.
But giving up the right to private prayers to God??? You might as well film him in his bedroom having sex with his wife.
If I were that student's teacher, well....there would be an enormous amount of reading in his future.
