COMMENTS: Rain Man
Meanwhile there is still no rain in Georgia. ABC and CBS both covered the statehouse ceremony conducted by Sonny Perdue, the Republican governor, "praying for God to shower the state with liquid blessings," as ABC's Steve Osunsami (subscription required) put it. CBS' Mark Strassmann nodded to the small crowd of atheists and agnostics protesting "a clear church-state violation" before illustrating Perdue's prayers with images of parched African villagers--making Perdue seem closer to anthropology than religiosity. "In desperate droughts praying for rain goes back thousands of years."
