	I could argue that religion and politics are intimately linked.
However, I believe that Mr. LaHaye is simply booking a convenient public
forum and Mr. Bush's beliefs have nothing to do with the booking.

The Press Club used to have the reputation of booking only political or
current events speakers.  I tend to think LaHaye shouldn't qualify under
those guidelines.  If he does, it has a great deal more to do with the
current administration's political views than I'd like to think about.
