Bishop Gene Robinson gets some laughs on "The Daily Show"

That someone in the relatively mainstream media has picked him up as a guest and asked about his prayer being omitted from the HBO special. I was there, and his prayer was really pretty wonderful (and challenging, in many ways) so it made me sad to hear this.

If you haven't heard it already, take the time to look it up.

When I first heard the news there was going to be an openly gay bishop taking part in the inaugural cremonies,I had no idea who was this openly gay bishop. I also did not know a darn thing about Bishop Robinson. Please don't call me ignorant. I simply do not run in that circle or an advocate reader of the white mainstream magazines.  Now I know a little bit of who this gracious and humble bishop is I am to know he too became part of history. I am sad that his prayer was cut out. You know this will  hurt the person or group of people who made that call. They will  karmically get theirs.

I'm glad Jon Stewart asked Bishop Gene Robinson to be his guest on his show. It's honored to hear Bishop Robinson speak. I will find his prayer somewhere in youtube land.

He is wonderful.

"You as a bishop are sort of doubly handcapped in that situation. Only being able to move diagnoly"

"John you have to understand there's a queen on the board as well"

HAHAHA You go Bishop Robinson!

As far as Rick Warren. I watched the whole inauguration but did mute the tv when he was on. I have no interest to hear any of what he has to say.

so glad to see he was at least given SOME air time after being cut from HBO. i thought his prayer was great. and the fact that he was asked to speak at such a historical event definitely signifies movement in the right direction =)

his prayer was pretty easy to find on youtube btw...too bad it was warren's that was seen by the masses =(  since i was watching the inauguration at school with my students, i unfortunately had to listen to rick warren pray about loving others..HA. ugh he sickens me. 

side note: i first learned about bishop robinson through a great documentary called 'for the bible tells me so' i highly recommend it to anyone that has a religious family to deal with!

anyway...thanks for posting the clip =)

Well, from what I have seen, if you were not actually there in DC for the inauguration then there is a good chance you never heard about Gene Robinson in association with the event.  Because it really did not get as much press as Warren did beforehand either.

Now Rick Warren, maybe I am biased...but he did not seem to get much applause...in comparison to a lot of the other people (aside from Pres Obama) who were introduced and went up to the microphone.  He did his prayer and he was done and he was gone.

lol, 'there's also a Queen on the Board' that's one quick Bishop!
