Sliding into self-parody

[sigma7]

Pat Robertson suggested that Ariel Sharon's stroke occurred because he was "dividing God's land."

Why stop there? Why not credit God's wrath for the coal mine disaster or Reggie Bush's insane lateral?

Maybe he's just ticked off about this messing up his theme park in Galilee. Wow. This guy can be tacky in nine different dimensions simultaneously.

Don't know of anyone who takes him seriously any more. This (http://corner.nationalreview.com/06_01_01_corner-archive.asp#086086) sums it up quite well, "WHEN WILL PAT ROBERTSON FINALLY JUST SHUT HIS STUPID MOUTH? [John Podhoretz]

What a pernicious and sickening creep to suggest that God has punished Ariel Sharon by hitting Israel's prime minister with a massive stroke. Robertson believes that his prayers can save communities from hurricanes. If he's really that powerful, maybe he ought to pray for Sharon's complete recovery and return to office as penance for spewing such repugnant, self-satisfied and evil bile."

Of course the coal mine disaster is Bush's fault (http://ace.mu.nu/archives/149234.php) as well as the Rose Bowl loss (http://www.fileitunder.com/2006/01/rose-bowl-or-rove-bowl.html).
