James Dobson and Newt Gingrich

Who appointed James Dobson the moral arbitor of the Universe anyway? Dobson, in his typical heavy handed way, is demanding the firing or silencing of a National Association of Evangelicals official for the egregious and unforgivable offense of taking global warming seriously? This is the same guy who said that Mark Foley's page view scandal was a "joke" and that Foley didn't have sex with any of the young men until after they were 18 or some such nonsense.

In a March 1 letter to the board of the NAE, Dobson said the Rev. Richard Cizik, Vice President for government relations has waged a "relentless campaign that is dividing and demoralizing evangelicals". Dobson wasn't that critical of Ted Haggard for using drugs and paying a male escort for sex. I wonder if it's the fact that Haggard is considered a strong conservative, taking the company line of social issues?
