From the do as I say not as I do department...
Here is video of Stephen Colbert interviewing Georgia's 8th district congressman Lynn Westmoreland. Westmoreland who co-sponsored legislation requiring the posting of the Ten Commandments in the halls of Congress is asked by Colbert to name the Ten Commandments. Check out how many he gets right...
The others for those who are curious are do not covet thy neighbors possesions, do not commit adultery, honor thy parents, honor no other gods, make no graven images, remember the Sabbath, and do not take the name of the Lord in vain. I'm guessing the Congressman feels the need to post them since he can't remember them. Of course it could also be a meaningless gesture to appeal to the religious right from a man who isn't much of a Christian. Hypocrisy thy name is Republican.
