Before the show at the Lincoln Memorial could get underway, deranged media personality Glenn Beck helped get the festivities started last night with a "Divine Destiny" religious revival meeting at DC's Kennedy Center. He was joined by the Republican Party's favorite rabbi.

Tonight, at his "Divine Destiny" religious revival, Glenn Beck hosted right-wing Rabbi Daniel Lapin -- presumably as part of his effort to "restore honor."


If restoring honor was the goal, Beck probably should have picked a more credible rabbi.

Daniel Lapin isn't exactly a household name, but in conservative and religious-right circles, he's extremely well known as a go-to guy -- when the right needs a rabbi to bolster its agenda, Lapin is ready to lend a hand, no matter how odious the request. (In one of my favorite examples, radical TV preacher Pat Robertson wrote a book based on post-World War I anti-Semitic conspiracy theory tracts. Robertson sought cover from a Jewish leader, and Lapin obliged.)


Lapin really made his name with the Jack Abramoff Republican lobbying scandal.

The Washington Monthly

So much for "HONOR"!

No comments, Beck fans? Odd.
