Rick Warren, mega-church grifter, uses some of his tax-exempt time to promote the asinine Republican attack on President Obama's use of the teleprompter:

Leaders speak from conviction. Actors speak from telepromters.

Of course Warren is right. Actors do use teleprompters:

(63,645 posts)Obama gives him a prominent -- and controversial -- speaking slot at his inauguration. Now he's taking shots at him?
Granted, we already knew he was a dick. But still... What a dick.

(15,001 posts)Most people today don't know Everett's name, let alone that his was the principal address at the dedication ceremony. Yet countless schoolchildren can repeat, word for word, Mr Lincoln's remarks, and the import of his words echo resoundingly to this hour and beyond. It doesn't matter how a presentation is made. What counts is content.

Had the misfortune of attending one of his Christmas services. To say it was horrible would be an understatement. He was trying to make a point that material possessions don't matter. O.K., good point but he used horrible examples and was talking down to the people; every point had to be made three times. Within five minutes I was ready to scream, we get it, you don't need to use three analogies to make the same point.
Then it got unbearable, he had two wood cases on the podium. He picks up one, opens it up and holds up a ring. Explains it was one of his brother's Super Bowl rings and his brother had left it to him. Now I am thinking that is pretty cool, he can make a point of saying how special it was to receive this and how it reminds him of his brother's dedication and accomplishments. Nope, he comes out and says, you know what it means, NOTHING! Your possessions on earth dont matter.
About ten minutes later he moves on to the other case (after making a point of mentioning how many Billionaires he knows) and states these are pens given to me by Heads of State, so I am waiting for him to say they mean nothing. Nope, he then pulls out a cheap Bic pen and makes a point of saying, this is what I carry with me to autograph my books, buy them by the case, because if I lose one, no big deal, not like the special pens given to me as gifts.
So this fucking prick took the time to pull out two special boxes, write a sermon around them, and is so fucking self absorbed that he can't even comprehend that he used one to knock the accomplishments of his dead brother and the other to stoke his own ego.
Being disrespectful of Obama in a tweet is nothing, this Prick can obviously disrespect his dead brother in planned remarks.
