Usually when one causes trouble in the public arena, a good move is to lay low until the dust settles as it usually does. When the selection of Rick Warren to give the invocation at Barack Obama’s inaugural caused a fire storm in the gay and liberal audiences, you would think Warren would try to say as little as possible and let the issue blow itself out. Well guess again.

Warren is not someone a progressive person would invite. Basically, to me, he is a right wing religious tool.

It’s the same old story of “do as I say not as I do” when he tries to sell his Jesus principle to the TDS audience.
