Winning herself a new nickname

Thanks in large part to Susan Sarandon, you may perhaps have heard of Sister Helen "Dead Man Walking" Prejean. But on the evidence of what Mark Shea says she shared at the Democratic Convention, she's now bidding for the nickname of "Obsessive Nun Talking."

You can say one good thing about Bill Clinton that you can't say about the Obamas (more on that here), or Hillary Clinton, or Sister Prejean: Bill doesn't take himself very seriously.
