Rick Warren's feeling the heat and he's trying to dodge it.
The image to the right will live on in infamy. It's Rick Warren at the Out off the Closet thrift store in LA with his new gay friend. It reminds me all too much of that series of images Stephen Colbert put together a while back, along the lines of "Here's me with my Black friend!" "Here's me with my latino friend!" "Here's me with my gay friend!"(Video of that's after the jump if you don't know the reference.)
Warren wants to be the compassionate moderate out there, but he either just isn't or doesn't want to take the heat from his own book-buying base by showing it in any material way. While he's being exposed for the charlatan that he is, his damage control comes across as ridiculous.
