Seeing yourself talk about the break-up of your marriage on the big screen is probably not what John McCain expected when he went to church this morning.
But that’s exactly what happened at the North Phoenix Baptist Church today, when Pastor Dan Yeary played a clip from Rick Warren’s interview with McCain last weekend where he asked him what his “greatest moral failing” was.
"The failure of my first marriage," McCain told Warren. “It's my greatest moral failure."
McCain and his wife Cindy both looked visibly uncomfortable during the presentation, which was played on big screens in the sanctuary where about 1,000 people had gathered for the service. Yeary also played Barack Obama’s answer, where he talked about experimenting with drugs and drinking when he was a teenager.
Yeary’s point was that everyone has moral failings and that it took courage for both presidential candidates to admit to them on national TV.
“Interesting” the SeeBS-Viacommie omitted the detail of Obama’s own moral failing from the headline.
Although I do NOT like the idea of using a live member of the congregation as an example, one can at least say that this pastor, unlike the pastor that Obama had for over 20 years, is fair in his presentation.
All part of the ‘vetting’ process. Might as well face it with honesty and deal with it openly.
If it's a political event OK...church is different.
I find this tactic disgusting.
After what I have seen this past year, a team of wild horses couldn’t drag me into a Baptist church.
Agreed. If he wanted to do this, he should have asked McCain’s permission. I wonder how that Pastor would like to have his last confession to his accountability mentor broadcast before the whole congregation?
It is the pastor who is disgracing himself. I am ashamed of him. He claimed that John McCain was a friend. I am sure that he did not tell that John McCain’s first wife had left her own husband for him, when she had two children. What goes around, comes around.

Whoa. I see four and I ain’t even drinking.
Wrong. She left her husband and sued him for divorce because he was a philanderer.
Why must McCain supporters slime Carol McCain to support John-Boy?
Now there’s FIVE. I’m gonna start drinking.
