The prayer and a link to the video is up on our blog, as well. HBO? Meet Gone Viral.

My commentary to HBO. Yes, I know, I was feeling bitter and a wee bit petty, so what.

“So, HBO and the Obama team left out Bishop Gene Robinson’s invocation yesterday prior to the the pre-inaugural “We Are One” concert at the Lincoln Memorial?

So, we’re NOT one? Or it’s that Bishop Gene Robinson is the one who’s NOT one? I am very sorry to hear that it’s either HBO or Team Obama who do not like to have ministers who happen to be gay speaking on camera anywhere near Obama. I would guess it’s the later group. I mean, who has more power – a cable televison station, or the president-to-be of the United States?

And yet, tomorrow, we can be sure that Rick Warren will be featured front and center during his little speech.

Thanks, people. Nice job. And what was with that weird ending to Stevie Wonder’s performance? You lost it, there.”

You’re a very naughty boy, Peter. Let’s hope preempted by accidental, hard-core gay porn from Falcon!!

It will be interesting to hear what the Presidential Inauguration Committee (PIC) has to say about the non-appearance of Gene Robinson.

Wouldn't it be just awful if a network TV glitch tomorrow replaced Warren's invocation with a snippet of, say, Brokeback Mountain?

I got an email from HBO’s PR department. They’re claiming it was a “technical error” and not an intentional diss.

Maybe HBO needs to buy cameras that don’t flip out when pointed at homosexuals?
