Alabama legislator blames Katrina on "God's wrath" on sinful coast

It was only a matter of time, wasn't it, before some religious or political leader (or politician who considers himself a religious authority) came out with this. In this case, it was Alabama state senator Hank Erwin.

Will Willimon, also interviewed for the article, said Erwin is "sure no theologian."

If Erwin's theory holds true, Las Vegas is long overdue for an earthquake or tornado. And Washington DC? Well....
