“Those comments are wholly inappropriate and offensive and really don’t have a place in this or any other debate,” presidential spokesman Trent Duffy said as President Bush traveled to Chicago for a speech... White House blasts Robertson's Sharon remark - U.S. Life - MSNBC.com <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10728347/">www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10728347/</a> White House blasts Robertson Spacecraft explodes on takeoff There was a time, back when satellite-borne Bible broadcasting first became big-time, that I held reverence for Pat Robertson. The idea of airing the teachings of Christ could only be inspiring in the wake of such a troublesome time in our nation's--and the world's--history. It was the time when Gerry Ford was mailing out W.I.N. buttons and encouraging Americans to plant backyard gardens as a hedge against inflation. Unfortunately, mailing the buttons proved to be cost prohibitive as rampant inflation caused galloping postal rates, and Ford supporters planted hedges. The dilemna is: Between then and now has Pat Robertson developed brain damage? or has mine healed? Even the Bush White House, the most addicted sycophant of the Religious Right which Robertson titularly heads, has dubbed the preacher as "offensive". It is amazing his audience of one million 700 Club viewers has not dwindled to 700 before now. Then again, millions planted shrubbery instead of intended vegetables in 1975. In 2001, Pat Robertson said that the 9/11 terrorist attacks would not have taken place but for the existence in America of homosexuals, lesbians, liberals, feminists, advocates of reproductive rights, and a certain senator from New York. He has since called for, among other things, the assassination of the duly elected president of Venezuela, from which, incidentally, the US imports 10% of all foreign oil. Now he presumes to be the mouthpiece of the Almighty, demonizing the leader of one of America's longest allies while the man lays in a coma. While I wax nostalgic, I am reminded of the psychic, Jeanne Dixon, who attained world-wide notoriety for vaguely predicting the assassination of Jack Kennedy in 1963. In the Spring of 1967, the prognosticator predicted that on a certain date Martians would arrive on Earth, exterminate all humans age 20 and over, kidnap and return to Mars with all between the ages of 13 and 19 (for what purpose she never described), and leave the remainder--children only--to fend for themselves as future harvests. Virtually every 12-year-old school girl was in tears the morning before, traumatized at the prospect she would be left behind without her older friends. Needless to say, Ms. Dixon discredited herself completely--if such a thing could actually be done--and every other so-called visionary who had developed a following during the previous 3 years by riding upon her charlatanous coattails. Pat Robertson is the seventh grade class clown who chronically punctuates his scatological humor with hand-in-the-armpit fart noises. It's only funny the first 10,000 times. Don't laugh. You'll just encourage him.
