Well, I woke up this morning and Cathleen Falsani (aka @GodGrrl) had written the blog I had planned to post today (mine would’ve been minus the Christian viewpoint, of course). It does a pretty fair job of stating why the new show GCB is not, in fact, an attack on Christianity; if you watch and see some of those outfits, you’ll see that it’s really more of an attack on taste (oh, Texas!). Her article below:

Over the weekend, Newt Gingrich decided to wade into a minor cultural skirmish by claiming that the new ABC dramedy GCB is an attack on faith fueled by anti-Christian bias.

As Gingrich is, from my perspective at least, prone to flights of intellectual fancy, I was at first prone to roll my eyes and ignore his latest sojourn into the ridiculous. But upon further reflection, I thought it merited a response because his notion that a satire could be the latest cannon fodder in the alleged war on religion (which usually means “war on Christianity” to those who invoke it) speaks to a larger cultural conundrum: Christians and our sense of humor (or, rather, the lack thereof.)

I can understand Gingrich, whose name, from time to time, has been the punch-line for late-night-talk-show-host monologues, being a wee bit sensitive about standing on the wrong side of a joke. And yet, as he has spent his adult life in the glare of the public spotlight, one might assume his hide would have been a bit tougher by now.But this isn’t really about Gingrich. It’s about those “Good Christian Belles” (nee “Bitches”) aka the characters on the most-recently-renamed GCB (by nervous network executives) and whether they are primetime assassins with perfectly-manicured fingers poised on the trigger of cultural Kalashnikovs aimed at Christ and his Church.

I think not.
