All the World Waits to see...

Which brings us back to Pat Robertson. Poor Pat! He stuck his foot in it this week by calling for the assasination of the president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez. An amazing (to me) media response followed, proving that I am not the only one who watches The 700 Club for laughs. Pat was pretty much raked over the national media coals Monday thru Thursday. I, of course, enjoyed every minute of it but I suspect that Pat was somewhat less than amused.

To Pat's credit he eventually apologized for his pernicious recomendation, but not before lying quite blatantly - on his own tv show - in an interview with Thor Halvorssen, president of The Human Rights Foundation. In that interview Pat claimed that he did not mean 'kill Hugo Chavez,' but only, 'kidnap Hugo Chavez.' Eheh. (Kidnapping is not mentioned in the Ten Commandments - unless this particular sin falls in the category of stealing - and Pat is big on the Ten Commandments. Very big.)

So what we have here is another apology waiting to be born. Will an apology to Thor Halvorssen ever see the light of day or will it be aborted ignomineously? All the world waits to see...
