Pat Robertson Celebrates Hurricane Tragedies


The idiot of Christian broadcasting has opened his big mouth again. Has anyone examined the guy's mental health? Maybe he has Alzheimers - his commentary is more idiotic even than stuff Ronald Reagan used to say (well excepting that trees cause pollution and - okay I take that back, the stuff Reagan used to say should make us all worry about Pat Robertson's health.)
"Pat Robertson, host of Christian Broadcasting Network's (CBN) The 700 Club and founder of the Christian Coalition of America, stated that, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. can 'be thankful that a tragedy has brought him some good.'

On the September 1 edition of The 700 Club, Robertson argued that 'out of this tragedy, the focus of America is going to be on these [hurricane] victims,' and 'inflamed rhetoric' from senators during Roberts's confirmation hearings 'is just not going to play well now.' Robertson also commented that, following the hurricane, if senators '[go] on a vendetta against Roberts' by sharply questioning or criticizing him, 'it's just going to hurt them.'"
