Weigel on Obama's chutzpa

Read the whole thing. Here's a grabber:

As for the White House complaint that the bishops' conference has been politicizing this argument, well, Leo Rosten, call your office. It takes a certain kind of chutzpa (which the great popular lexicographer of Yiddish defined as "gall, brazen nerve, effrontery, presumption-plus-arrogance") for the administration to accuse men who have been calmly and intelligently defending a classic understanding of the First Amendment's free-exercise clause of playing politics. For the administration has been playing politics 24/7, assiduously trying to turn the entire debate into a bogus referendum on "women's health" while deploying Senate henchmen such as Frank Lautenberg to imply that the bishops, as supporters of the recently defeated Blunt Amendment (which would have restored the religious exemptions contained in Hillarycare), are misogynists determined to send the women of America back to "the Dark Ages . . . when women were property that you could easily control, even trade if you wanted to."

True that.
