Touchy, touchy!

John Kerry, without mentioning names, cited a verse from the Epistle of James asking what good it was to have faith without works. George W. Bush immediately took offense. I wonder what made him think the verse applied to him?
As to "exploiting Scripture for political attack," are we to understand that reading the Bible is good but that applying it to the real world is not?
Thanks to Sisyphus Shrugged for the pointer.
