Not content to have just one controversial clergyman in a lead role at his inauguration celebration, President-elect Barack Obama has reportedly tapped a married gay bishop to lead the prayer at an event Sunday.
“„BREAKING: The Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire, who became the Episcopal Church’s first openly gay bishop in 2003 and last year entered into a civil union with his gay partner, will deliver the invocation for Sunday’s kickoff inaugural event on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, with President-elect Obama in attendance. The event is free and open to the public.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Rick Warren!
Oh, by the way, according to the transition, the move has absolutely nothing to do with Rick Warren. Also from Playbook:
“„An Obama source: ‘Robinson was in the plans before the complaints about Rick Warren. Many skeptics will read this as a direct reaction to the Warren criticism – but it’s just not so.’
No word yet on whether Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s witch-hunting pastoris planning to come to Washington to protect Obama from black magic.
