Warren bails on 'This Week' interview

Instead of explaining contradictory statements over his actions regarding California's Prop 8 on same-sex marriage, Rick Warren went with Plan B today: He didn't show up for a planned interview on ABC's "This Week."

"For those of you tuning in this morning expecting to hear from Pastor Rick Warren, we were, too," said host George Stephanopoulos at the start of the show. "But the pastor's representatives canceled moments before the scheduled interview, saying that Mr. Warren is sick from exhaustion."

Added a cool but surely unhappy Stephanopoulos: "We hope he recovers quickly."

As Mike Allen detailed in Playbook yesterday, Warren oddly argued on Larry King last week that he “never once … gave an endorsement” to the controversial ballot measure when there's video evidence of him arguing for its passage.
