Well, if you think about it - what he literally was asking, rhetorically, was:
"would a conservative put a Christian woman stricken with cancer on the front page?"
So perhaps he was just pointing out that, you know,
conservatives, in general, have no problem putting a Muslim, Hindu or Jewish woman stricken with cancer on the front page, but that for a
conservative, its putting a Christian woman up like that is the thing that rankles.
That kind of makes sense, actually
