Holy dick-wad Batman

So, if you call yourself a man of God, or some such shit, you can get away with murder... well, at least asking for someone to be murdered.

Now Pat Robertson is trying to say that he didn't threaten Chavez' life.

"I didn't say 'assassination,'" clarified Robertson during a broadcast of his "The 700 Club" Wednesday morning. "I said our special forces should go 'take him out,' and 'take him out' could be a number of things, including kidnapping."

He blamed The Associated Press for making him seem to advocate the assassination of a foreign leader.

"There are a number of ways to take out a dictator from power besides killing him," Robertson said. "I was misinterpreted by the AP, but that happens all the time."

Oh geez.. that stupid media. How could they misinterpret this?

"You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we are trying to assassinate him, we should go ahead and do it," Robertson said Monday

Oh duh! Of course he didn't mean assassinate when he said "assassinate"... for Christ's sake!

The government of Venezuela is not pleased.

"This public call to assassinate a head of state, considered a crime by all modern legislation, is prosecutable by its very nature. That is what the civilized world is expecting of U.S. authorities," the Venezuelan government said on Wednesday.

"Mr Robertson has been one of this president's staunchest allies. His statement demands the strongest condemnation by the White House," Venezuela's ambassador to the United States Bernardo Alvarez said.

Robertson should be prosecuted and put in jail for threatening the life of a head of state. Then, they should put him in a cell with 10 other bikers, and install video cameras, and stream the resulting fun over the internet for a small fee.

That would go a long way to paying off the national debt. I know I'd like to see it, and Robertson isn't even my type.
