Out of the Closet

(7)

Which brings us to my favorite subject tonight: Pat Robertson. I TIVO Pat every weekday. My motive is information, current Christian events. Another motive relates to my love of the humerous. To me Pat Robertson's show is often quite humerous. I love it that Pat thinks he can communicate with God, and that he passes on little tidbits from God to his viewers.

Pat must have at least a million viewers, which fact makes him powerful in the Christian Community. I TIVO Pat for the entire hour, but if I'm in the LR I usually terminate the recording at the half-hour if the subject matter is uninteresting which is usually the case. So I did that around 1230 yesterday.

But when I came back to the LR at about 1250 I discovered that all major cable networks (CNN, MSNBC, FOX) were focused on the BTK proceedings. The only alternative was Pat Robertson.

So I turned up the sound on my main tv set only to be treated to Pat Robertson endorsing infant circumcision! I shit thee not, folks: Pat Robertson actually endorsed infant sexual mutilation!

For health reasons!
