As I was in the middle of writing a different post about the pitfalls of the Democrats’ religious outreach, the news comes from People for the American Way’s Right Wing Watch that Rick Warren, who just this week equated gay marriage with polygamy and incest, and who thinks that Christians who work for social justice are Marxists, will deliver the invocation at Obama’s inauguration.

I am speechless.
