High-profile pastor Rick Warren has called off plans for a presidential forum that he said was scheduled to include both major party candidates, but there are conflicting accounts about why the event was canceled.

Warren told the Orange County Register that he was nixing his "civil forum" because of the toxic political climate.

"It would be hypocritical to pretend civility for one evening only to have the name-calling return the next day," Warren told the newspaper in an article published Wednesday.

But sources close to President Barack Obama's and Mitt Romney's political campaigns challenged that explanation, saying the event was canceled because of a lack of interest from the respective campaigns.

"As I understand it, Pastor Warren received tepid responses from both camps well before the supposed 'cancellation,'" said a senior Democratic strategist in contact with the Obama campaign.

A source close to the Romney campaign said that the former Massachusetts governor hadn't planned on attending Warren's event: “We were never going, ever. We offered to do a video.”

No more need be said. Well, except for a quiet chuckle.

Thank God for small favors! At the end of the 2008 event McCain and Obama locked themselves in the Pastor's wine cellar, where they sipped Chablis, huffed Hai Karate until they both saw visions of Nancy Kwan dancing in her red Suzy Wong dress, and drew stick figures of Jesus as a Los Angeles Laker.







Hmmm, better than Reuben's.
..One more.
Ben!
..My last one.
Okay.
