Pat Robertson 'A Public Relations Nightmare,' Says God

Surfing the news before we head out to a homes tour, I came across an article that looks again at Pat Robertson incredible lunacy and callousness in the wake of the horrible earthquake in Haiti. I cannot stand the man and in fact commented today on the IDIOCY of the Norfolk Airport Authority in allowing Regent University to have a huge advertisement - including a huge photo of the utterly self-absorbed Robertson - that greats visitors to the area. If one is trying to scare away progressive business, why not also have an equally big sign stating that the area is inhabited by hate fill, idiot, racist red necks? It makes just about as much sense as spotlighting one of the regions biggest buffoons and charlatans. In any event, the Borowitz Report has a good take on the increasingly senile and nasty brother Pat who truly seems to strive to give Christianity a bad name. Here are some highlights:
*
NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) - In the wake of his comments about the earthquake in Haiti, televangelist Pat Robertson has become a "public relations nightmare" and a "gynormous embarrassment to me, personally," God said today. In a rare press conference at the Grand Hyatt in New York City, the usually reclusive Almighty said that He was taking the unusual step of airing His feelings in public because "enough is enough." "I pray that his TV show would just go away
*
While God held out no hope that Rev. Robertson's "700 Club" would be cancelled any time soon, He did say, somewhat ruefully, "If Pat Robertson were on NBC he'd be replaced by Jay Leno by now."

Many of us in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia wish Robertson, his television show and his broadcasting company would just go away an cease being a local embarrassment. Anyone who would like to tell the Airport Authority to eject Pat Robertson's big advertisement can do so here:
