Don't Worry, McCain Has Already Distanced Himself

McCain Pre Program invocation.mp3

Pastor Arnold Conrad, giving an invocation before McCain's speech this morning. What do you think, was he being playful or serious? The audio doesn't sound particularly wry.

I also would also pray, Lord, that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their god--whether it's Hindu, Buddha, Allah--that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons. And Lord, I pray that you will guard your own reputation, because they're going to think that their God is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you will step forward and honor your own name with all that happens between now and election day."

Thanks to Marc Armbinder at The Atlantic. Kinda reminds me of John Gibsons entreaty for white people to have more babies.
