By now, everyone knows that Barack Obama has picked the Rev. Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at his inauguration.

So what’s the big deal? Evangelical pastors have been opening inaugurations for years. Look at Billy Graham. Pero, for the President-elect, with change as his motto, to choose the author of “The Purpose Driven Life,” to start up the next four years feels, well, like something we would expect from a Bush, or a McCain, or a Palin, even.

The decision to have Warren, pastor of a megachurch in Orange County, California, is supposed to be read as an act of peacemaking and bridge building, but what is Obama working towards by including someone who doesn’t believe in evolution, is an outspoken opponent of abortion and same-sex marriage? Warren equates same-sex marriage with incest.Certainly not the type of person I am interested in making peace with.

Not only that, but Warren is a little pervy. See a video here.
