I just received the most curious email from Ken Hutcherson.  Until now, Hutcherson has remained silent and invisible in the debate over the DP Expansion Bill of 2009.

Antioch Bible Church: Prayer Warrior

Tuesday, 10 March 2009

The domestic partnership (everything but marriage) bills could potentially pass in the legislature this week.  Please pray that the sanctity of marriage will be preserved in this state.

Please stay tuned because if they do pass, I will let you know what the next step will be.

I’ve been taking a wait and see policy to see who else would stand up for righteousness and no one has.

Pastor Hutcherson

“Please pray”?  That’s all?  Don’t you think it strange that he’s not asking his sheeple to call their legislators?

And can anyone miss the thinly-veiled snipe in the last sentence at Gary Randall of the Faith and Freedom Network & Larry Stickney of the Washington Values Alliance?  It’s been Randall and Stickney who, during Hutch’s silence, have been testifying and marshalling the herd and dutifully producing Lie-o-rama t.v. ads.

My guess is that Hutcherson figures that there is no stopping the passage of the bill, so he’s going to sit back and let his rivals fail so he can swoop in with a referendum plan and play savior.  It’s a two-fer for him: he gets to piss on gays, and he gets to be king of the christofascist hill.  Until, that is, he tumbles down the mountain.  Because every grand scheme Hutch launches (bringing Microsoft to its knees, anyone?) fails miserably.
