Say What?

Christians, it seems, say the darnedest things. So, who recently said the following?

B. Former lobbyist Jack Abramoff
C. Former congressman Ken DeLay
D. Former vice presidential aide “Scooter” Libby

2) And while we are on the subject, who said this?

“I don’t think Jesus would be mad at me and the message I am trying to send.”

B. Mel Gibson
