I just saw (on _The Daily Show)_ Pat Robertson attributing Ariel Sharon’s latest stroke on his decison to pull out of the Gaza Strip and “divide God’s land.”\* (Stewart then showed a recent still pic of Sharon and riposed, “I’d put my money on age, fat and stress!”) _sigh_ I have to wonder, is Robertson even worth Pitting any more? Come to think of it, why did anybody ever listen to this fucktard in the first place?! \*BTW, Pat, since you’re such an expert on doctrine and theology – what land **isn’t** God’s? ---

> [@BrainGlutton](#): > > \*BTW, Pat, since you’re such an expert on doctrine and theology – what land **isn’t** God’s? Well, If God had given me that particular spot of land, I’d wonder exactly what I’d done to offend God. ---

Old Patty got two. Chavez got none. I wonder why. ---

He has gotten weirder and weirder as he has aged. Even the Republicans are keeping him at arm’s length. I thought when he claimed he convinced God to spare his TV transmitter from a storm he left the reservation for parts unknown. He will be fun to watch dissolve in public over the next twenty years or so. ---

Looks like it’s time to adjust Pat’s medication. ---

Every time Crazy Reverand Batshit gets some national press, I’m reminded of one of Sam Kinison’s observation about the man: “Jesus didn’t have any shoes but He wants you to have a satellite?” Once again, I apologize for my neighbor. We really try to keep him inside, but every now and then he slips out the door and into the world. ---

I’m torn. On the one hand, what has the world come to if Patshit Crazy Robertson isn’t worth pitting? On the other hand, it is getting a bit repetitious. Someone famous dies, or some natural disaster occurs, and Pat cries out “God’s Wrath!” ---

Someone famous dies, or some natural disaster occurs, and Pat cries out “God’s Wrath!” It’s like when a comedian runs out of new material. “Haven’t we heard that joke about airplane food more than enough?” ---

God told me to close this thread. He told me to tell you guys to post in the other thread on this topic instead. God likes a nice, neat forum. He’s also partial to meatball sandwiches. God is good people.
