Warren Piece


I really hate to pick on NBC three times and religion twice in 24 hours (oh, who am I kidding?) but I thought this little tidbit from Mediaite was pretty entertaining:

"Ah, to be Rev. Rick Warren on a 'very special' Thanksgiving 'Meet the Press.' Despite being connected to a Ugandan minister who supports the death penalty for gays, you don’t get asked about it... and you aren’t pressed to explain your 'I’m not a politician' position while calling abortion a 'holocaust' and discussing your public position in opposing same-sex marriage in California.


The most heated questioning -- if you could call it that -- came when David Gregory asked Warren to explain his role in supporting Proposition 8 in California, which outlawed same-sex marriage."


And was a big controversy, oh, a year ago.

In Gregory's defense, I think he thought he was talking to Chuck Todd.

Totally understandable. Until this post I thought they were the same person. Must be the dead eyes and faux-chin beard.

Calling this asshat a Christian is an insult.
