Welcome to the Best of the Left Podcast with clips today from Marin vs. Seater, Fresh

Air, The Onion Radio News, The Young Turks, The Slate.com Podcast, and This American Life.

Okay, 32 days until I'm the partier in chief. Today I'm going to pardon all those homosexual

LGTP, whatever it is, folks, pardon your gay ignorance about being upset about past or

Rick Warren, you know, given the invocation of Bam Bam's inauguration. I know Rick Warren

has a problem with the gays because they they do icky. But can you blame him? It's icky.

Rick Warren is a man of God, which means he's a man. So if you're a gay, you love a man.

So you should love Rick Warren because he's a man too. Now, all you gays, be free. You've

been pardoned. Head down to Sewater and I hoe and hang out with Andy to frame, but no funny

business. He was married to a girl. All right. My job here's done. Jetpack. Engage.

Look at that. It's raining men up here. I'm just kidding.

Hi, that's a good one, Sammy. I just got it out and I am from Granny Grim. He says,

Bullshit. These years, Snake Handel and Psychos down here, ain't going to work with that

one on anything referring to the black one comment.

Well, you know, it's not a question of them working with him. It's a question of, you know,

the way that political power is exercised is generally through these spokespeople and

that these spokespeople are given a certain amount of validity based upon how they're perceived

within the context of that group. So it doesn't matter. If the individual congregants,

Rick Warren's congregants are any of these evangelicals saying I think because their voice

cannot be heard in the broader conversation, if you've got Rick Warren on CNN one day saying,

well, I agree with Barack Obama that we need to green X, Y, or Z. So I mean, that's the,

at least I am assuming that's the political calculation.
