I like how Rick Warren just casually let it slip that he is counseling Governor Palin. This seems slightly staged to me, as I would expect Palin to talk to the pastor of her own church. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe they've been friends forever, or maybe they met at a campaign event. Who knows. Either way, I love it, and so will most Christians.
On a Los Angeles radio show, co-host Kathryn Milofsky asked Warren what one question he would direct at Palin if he was able to have her sit down for a forum like the one he hosted last month with John McCain and Barack Obama at his Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California.
"Well actually she called me yesterday," Warren said. "The question I asked her was 'how can I pray for you?'"
Warren said that Palin then "asked me to send her some bible verses on how do you deal with the unfair, unjust attacks
UPDATE: Seth Coulter Walls over at The Huffington Post has the audio and points out that later in the conversation Warren seemed offended by the way Barack Obama has since explained his "above my pay grade" answer to Warren's question about when life beings.
"John McCain said at the point of conception. And Barack Obama [chuckle] said he wasn't really sure," Warren said, per Walls.
This is so much better than the McCain campaign complaining about attacks on Sarah Palin. This makes it personal, without any public whining, but still allows it to be played out in public - which is abslutely fricking genious. Sympathy without whining. Perfect.
UPDATE: RonDog, a Freeper who dropped by, noted the following in the comments:
"Palin's camp calls to
say that the Alaska Gov. was returning Warren's call. According (to) a Palin
spokeswoman, Warren called her on Saturday, September 6 and she returned
his call on Monday, September 8. The Monday phone call is when the above
conversation described by Warren took place." http://briefingroom.thehill.com/2008/09/11/palin-called-rick-warren-for-guidance/
