How about "It validates his status as emissary of God?"

Josh Marshall over at TPM is looking for ridiculous overstatements regarding Dubya's victory... I don't know if there is much that can compete with the couple he has up, but I sent him a blurb from Kristof's article. See if you can come up with anything...

(Note how I casually refer to one of the best damn bloggers in the world in this post... I call him "Josh" like we golf on the weekend together or something... I think the kids call that "fronting." What's worse is that I am doing it in the blog equivalent of a beat-up Pinto...)
