Well, guessed who showed up in the ol' email inbox, responding to MSNBC's Keith Olbermann naming him the “World's Worst Person”? It's First Southern Baptist Church in Buena Park pastor Wiley Drake, who drew the dubious distinction for saying he's prayed for the deaths of President Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and fellow pastor Rick Warren.
Alas, the good reverend's reaction is short and, uh, brief:
“Olbermann is my new press secretary,” types Drake. “I could not have bought that much press coverage. Thanks, Mr. Olbermann.”
In a quick follow-up, Drake adds, “Even beat out Rush.”
And, really, isn't that what life's all about?
