What kind of relationship does Pat have with the Evil One that he can make such quotation? I think Pat may have been unwittingly revealing the source of his view on the matter.Manliusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37589721331585843.post-40156930953471804802010-01-14T13:40:51.083-07:002010-01-14T13:40:51.083-07:00Maybe we should send good ol' Pat a Bible book...Maybe we should send good ol' Pat a Bible bookmarked to Luke 13:1-5.

His personal star is clearly fading, yet what he expressed (not about Haiti per se, but a more broadly conceived blame-the-victim-who-must-be-a-terrible-sinner notion of suffering) is, sadly, a commonly held notion.Matt Hedstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684487295063093408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37589721331585843.post-72027460604840293212010-01-14T07:46:13.322-07:002010-01-14T07:46:13.322-07:00Check out the CBN's attempt at some damage con...Check out the CBN's attempt at some damage control (glad it's not my job...): <br />http://www.cbn.com/about/pressrelease_patrobertson_haiti.aspxHildenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37589721331585843.post-69095191032076996592010-01-14T05:59:17.313-07:002010-01-14T05:59:17.313-07:00I don't think that I have ever seen a more app...I don't think that I have ever seen a more appropriate use of the word asshole in my life.

I can see them now in the control room, shouting into microphones (and in Pat's earpiece) "Stop," "Halt," "Don't say it!"<br /><br />I still think Al Franken did the best Pat Robertson impersonation. Grinning ear to ear while uttering some of the most vile things imaginable.Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16755286304057000048noreply@blogger.com
