Rick Warren's Sordid Road To Damascus

Here is a wonderful sentence drunk crank Christopher Hitchens wrote about huckster pop-pastor Rick Warren:

"It seems to have been agreed by every single media outlet that only one group has the right to challenge Obama's promotion of 'Pastor' Rick Warren, and that group is the constituency of politically organized homosexuals."

That is but the first sentence, of many, in Hitch's fun new column about Warren, which is headlined "Fuck You and Your Fucking Joke of a God, Jesus-Dick." Ha, no, that is not the headline, because the editors of Slate only indulge Hitch so much (too much). Anyway, yes, all we media outlets got together a while back and decided that only "politically organized homosexuals" would be put off by this Warren character. We totally forgot drink-soaked former Trotskyist popinjays!

Hitch, a politically unorganized heterosexual, dislikes Warren because of Syria.


Then in the last paragraph he really goes off on Warren. Also there's another odd swipe at the gays, for being so selfish, what with hogging all the Warren-hating, and not caring about Syria.
