Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, January 13, 2009

After choosing evangelical pastor Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at his swearing-in, President-elect Barack Obama has chosen two progressive Protestant leaders -- a woman and an openly gay bishop -- to bookend his inaugural ceremonies. "It reflects his commitment to pluralism," said Shaun Casey, an ethics professor at Wesley Theological Seminary and Obama advisor. "My advice is for folks to look at the full range of people invited (to deliver prayers) -- the sum is larger than its parts."

While this doesn't make up fer Obama's choice of the loppy Warren as prayer leading invocation guy it should certainly take some of the sting out of that decision, which is, of course, the point here.

Be Well.

Maybe some the gay will rub off on Warren.

Gay Bishop is redundant.

loppy = loopy, btw.

Kinda like Ben-Gay, the deep-heating rub?

Interesting theory.

Gay Bishop is redundant.

FF fer Danni!

Be Well.

"Gay Bishop is redundant."

I think we should stop bashing the bishop.

We should start punching the clown instead.

As soon as we've finished waxing the dolphin.

But after we're finished pounding the pelican.

wow! i guess it's true with obambino - you CAN have it both ways!

Says the Coward of the County.

So. An Evangelical, a gay bishop and a woman go into a bar....

Obama Adds Gay Bishop and Woman to Inaugeral Prayers

......JUST ANNOUNCED.....

.....Ann Coulter added to Inaugeral Prayer to represent transgendered media-whores......

Are any of these folks gonna do any heal'in?


......Joe the Plumber Outraged........

..."Thought I had the gig sewed up"......

Yeah, and you're going to get it both ways, for 4 looooooooong years,

That's too bad. I was hoping that Obama would be a good president and it wouldn't seem so long.

Wot about "Punishing the Pope"

"Pounding Saint Peter"?

"Burping the Worm"?

"Bending the Barb"?

"Choking the Chicken"?

Ah, Spud so luffs elevating the tone around here.

Be Well.

Shows what the guy stands for.... Nothing. Just another poll reader and worried as hell about offending someone. If the goat lovers group hears about this and is offended I'm sure BO will add a libtard that orgasms with warm milk.

Nully, the only reason you think it will be four loooooooong years for us is because of the attitude you had for the past 8. We aren't as hateful as the left and we are much more apt to take a wait and see approach. Whereas the left was after Bush from day one because they think the wittle ewection was stowen from dem.

Gene Robinson's a douchebag. But, given Obama's predilection to take counsel of "pastors" whose only relationship with religious faith is purely accidental, it's no surprise.

"We aren't as hateful as the left ... "
Ha, ha, ha, oh man that's a good one.
"Whereas the left was after Bush from day one ... "
As opposed to the brotherly treatment Clinton got from the right. Thanks for clearing up the distinctions.

Obama should add a midget, two-headed boy and a bearded lady to the inaugural circus.

Barney Frank must be happy.

Don't forget "spanking the monkey".

How about adding a midget transexual lesbian?

Miss Manners says you're not allowed to invite yourself.

Obama should add a midget, two-headed boy and a bearded lady to the inaugural circus.

Oh, weren't George and Laura going anyway?

Yes sir, can't wait to see how the next 4 years play out...

Funny how the Dem's/Lib's are celebrating a touchdown and they haven't even snapped the ball...

How did your family get invited?

#26 | Posted by mrbgoode

Are you pissed because Barnet Frank did not invite you as his date?

#26 | Posted by mrbgoode

Did Barney forget to call you after your date? That's why you should never give it up on the first date there princess.

Don't forget "spanking the monkey".

THAT'S RACIST!!!

/Yes, keeding.

Be Well.

Do they even have any balls?

Bishop V. Gene Robinson is just staying over from the Gay Leather and Biker Convention he is a spokesperson at this weekend in DC. Makes one wonder if he will be wearing his Leather Chaps underneath his Robe. I am sure many in the crowd will be wanting to take a peek underneath to see. But those impure thoughts may need to come out in a confessional.

Because trying to make everyone happy always works. Yup, every single solitary time.

While I see nothing wrong with it, why do they have to mention that the bishop is gay? Does it really matter to anyone here?

As for the woman, also, great, but what's the big deal? I believe they're now allowed to own land. Welcome to the 21st century!

3 Christians leading prayers?

......But I was told repeatedly that he was a 'Muslim'.

While I see nothing wrong with it, why do they have to mention that the bishop is gay?

~Common Sense

Because of the gay backlash caused by Obama's pick of pRick (the P is Silent) Warren.

/Not that there's everything wrong with that pick.

Be Well.

Is it as obvious to everyone else as it is to me that this is just a transparent attempt to do damage control for the Warren pick? And does it really mean anything when you only choose a gay bishop because a bunch of gays whined about your original pick?

What a queer thing for Obama to do...

Did you REALLY type that with a straight face?

Funny how the Dem's/Lib's are celebrating a touchdown and they haven't even snapped the ball...

#28 | Posted by libslayer


Yeah. sorta like you and your buds celebrating a fumble before the ball has even been snapped?

Just don't drop the soap Mr. Warren! The ham-slammin' Bishop may do a little turd-knocking prayer maneuver on you!

But it would, no doubt, be good for the country and our rich carnival diversity...right?

Ah Theo - ever the epitome of all that is wonderful about conservative Christianity.

I'll bet Jesus is just all aglow with pride in you.

Death rattles all around the country next Tuesday when we hear, "I, Barack HUSSEIN Obama..."


Of course, if he decides not to use his middle name we'll get about 64 hours of analysis on why he didn't.

I hope like hell Obama in His swearing in goes I Barrack HUSSEIN Obama Jr and then the rest just to piss off all of those Righty Tighties who raised a big old stink about His middle name. That would thrill Me to no end. It most assuredly would. Indeedydoo

Larry

"I, Barack HUSSEIN Obama..."


I hear he's getting sworn in using Abraham Lincoln's own copy of the Koran.
~Whining Whinging Pouting Po-Faced Rightbot

wonder if he'll add some midgets and a tattooed lady?

Is Jimmy Swaggert doing the musical portion of the show?

The Bishops decision to be gay should not be held against him. His claim to being both gay and a bishop reveals enough about him to not take him seriously.

I don't know. Why don't you call him and volunteer - then he can kill 2 birds with one stone. PLUS he'd have someone who runs away and hides when her party loses an election.

Were you under the impression that he declared HIMSELF a Bishop?

sar - i have no party, am unmarked and 5'8" and am right here. wrong on all counts. as usual you dismal little creature.

Well, we only have your word for that. And sure, you're here NOW all ready to spew your ubiquitous venom. But there was that little matter of your convenient disappearance at around 5:00 pm on election day that lasted for quite some time.

true - somebody hacked my p.c. and it took me nearly two months to get it right - why should that be any concern of yours - i'm right here. glad to know you missed me - maybe now you'll lighten up on hitting your wife?

p.s. - i was here under a proxy on a laptop...on occasion.

Hmmm. Convenient.

Wife?

Nanc went into depression mode and hid after the election. The thought of a black prez literally crushed her spirits.

Wife?
#58 | Posted by SanAntonioRogue

hehehe. I thought the same thing - had to read it twice!

Bishop Gene Robinson is a self-centered man hiding behind the Bible. He rise to Bishop has ripped his Protestant Church apart and his thirst for power has trumped what is best for the Episcopal Church in America.

okay - boyfriend.

okay - boyfriend.

Not sure someone with whom I've been in a monogamous relationship for almost 14 years, and with whom I've taken vows in front of family, friends, and an ordained Christian Minister is exactly my "boyfriend", Frau Blucher.

I think it is kind of funny that a Protestant Church that only exists because Henry VIII wanted to get his marriage annulled has a gay bishop. Episcopalians don't even take this guy seriously

Don't you know that the only way to celebrate diversity is to constantly tell us how we're all the same while pointing out the differences in us then getting pissed because we noticed the differences that they keep pointing out that we aren't supposed to care about or notice? Did they announce Warren as a "heterosexual"? I don't think so but it isn't about equality its about sticking it to the rich, white, straight, christian, pick your label that libs hate. Jeez!

Exactamundo!

Let everyone be equal. Let's not have, "This is Ms. Smith, the lesbian" and "This is Mr. Johnson, the black guy". What's wrong with "This is Ms. Smith" and "This is Mr. Johnson"?

The "bishop"--and his church--defines him by his gayness.

A few years ago Eugene Robinson divorced his wife to be with another man. Had he left his wife for another woman, he would have been forced to step down. But because this "church"--if you'll excuse the term--is so reflexively permissive of all things gay, they decided to let him get away with a double standard.

I'm not nearly as open-minded. But I see Barack Obama is. His business, I suppose. But if anything goes in the church, hasn't the salt lost its flavor?

pablum, rir.

Ahhhh yessss! The Messiah gets everyone involved.

Just don't drop the soap Mr. Warren! The ham-slammin' Bishop may do a little turd-knocking prayer maneuver on you!

Riiiiiiight. Because we all know that straight pastors NEVER have gay sex with male escorts while high on Crystal Meth.....oh, and while being married.

You ridicule the origins of the church, and simultaneously speak on behalf of its members like you care. In your words, "I think it is kind of funny." What gives, dude?
