The Pursuit of Happiness

George Stephanopoulos has an excellent Sunday morning hour-long news show with a variety of opinion and the Sunday funnies, usually snippets of Jay Leno and Letterman and ABC's Jimmy Kimmel making fun of the newsies.

Jay Leno had the funniest laugh when he mentioned a nightmare he had on whether to go hunting with Cheney or for a car ride with Teddy Kennedy.

But at the end of his show, he mentioned a recent Pew poll that showed that when asked, 45% of Republicans said they were happy and only 30% of Democrats felt the same way.

While the Nation editor Katrina van den Heuvel tried to explain this was because of politics, the ever wise and always on the money Cokie Roberts let the truth slip out.

Cokie noted: That's probably because Republicans go to Church and they tend to stay married.

Bingo!
