Stupid Ass of the Week

"Religious broadcaster," Yale Law School grad and sometime faith healer Pat Robertson, Fox News reports, says that George Bush will win in 2004, at least that is what God is telling him.

"'I think George Bush is going to win in a walk,' Robertson said on his '700 Club' program on the Virginia Beach-based Christian Broadcasting Network, which he founded. 'I really believe I'm hearing from the Lord it's going to be like a blowout election in 2004. It's shaping up that way.'"

The story continues:

"'The Lord has just blessed him,' Robertson said of Bush. 'I mean, he could make terrible mistakes and comes out of it. It doesn't make any difference what he does, good or bad, God picks him up because he's a man of prayer and God's blessing him.'

"The Rev. Barry W. Lynn, a frequent Robertson critic and executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State said he had a prediction of his own: 'Pat Robertson in 2004 will continue to use his multimillion broadcasting empire to promote George Bush and other Republican candidates.'

And the story concludes:

"In a reference to Bush's political adviser, Lynn said, 'Maybe Pat got a message from Karl Rove and thought it was from God."

P.O.V. CBN Networks -- Evening. Pale moonlight illuminates Pat Robertson, deep in prayer.

Male Voice (O.S.):
(Waspy accent)
So it looks like Bush will win again in a walk, any problems with that, my faithful servant?

Exquisite joy erupts on the cherubic face of Robertson. A strand of drool leaks from his prayerful lips.

Robertson:

No, Mr. Gawd, thank you!

Ah, the pleasure of having a gods that shares ones political beliefs.
