Pat Robertson

While the rest of us are still shell-shocked over the mass casualties of Katrina, Pat Robertson says John Roberts can “be thankful that a tragedy has brought him some good.”

Thankful? (Because America won’t want any “inflamed rhetoric” at the hearings, the televangelist says.) Not the most sensitive comment I can imagine, with more than half of New Orleans inundated with disease-laden water and an untold number of bodies still to be pulled out. (source)

I never thought I’d hear myself say this, but I think the world would be a better place without people like Pat Robertson. But, unlike Pat Robertson, I’m not going to advocate that anyone “take him out”, like he did to Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez.

“If he thinks we’re trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It’s a whole lot cheaper than starting a war.” - Pat Robertson (source)

Ok fine... but now he’s “thankful” for the tragedy in New Orleans because it takes the spotlight off of Judge John Roberts. It is just amazing to me that he calls himself a man of God.
