I don't feel especially strongly about this whole Rick Warren thing- no, he would not have been my first choice, and yes, Warren stands for a lot of repugnant stuff, but it's just a convocation. If he'd been named, say, Secretary of Health and Human Services or something, then it would be cause for legitimate outrage.
A Wonkette commenter (linked by Balloon Juice) had the best line:
I’m hoping that the Revererend Wright parachutes on stage just as Rick “Pus-Driven Life” Warren is about to give the invocation, and then he says “THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MINE, BITCHES” and starts spraying machine gun fire. Then he and Hopey make up over Warrens bullet-riddled corpse and they start handing out guns to the crowd from big ass crates marked USSR and “Fidel Forever.” The end.I think Sean Hannity and Mark Levin legitimately fear and expect that exactly that will happen.
