Pat Robertson One More Time

1. So the Washington Examiner, following Robertson's disgusting statement about Ariel Sharon, announced on its editorial page that Robertson made his ludicrous comments only for the publicity, and that therefore the Examiner was to give no more space to his rantings.

Two days later, guess what! A one half page article on fallout from the Robertson outburst. Go figure.

2. The focus of today's article in the Examiner (and elsewhere) is that Israel The Country has announced that it will cease doing business with Robertson The Evangelist. (Like, "The State of Israel has announced that it is calling its ambassador to Pat Robertson home for consultation.") This threatened the proposed Galilee Center for Christian Truth, or whatever Pat's pre-Armageddon museum is to be called. (Like, "The State of Israel has announced the imposition of an economic boycott against Robertson the Evangelist.")

Immediately, Robertson says, more or less, "I apologize to the Israeli people. I really love the Jews. Sharon is a sweetheart; always has been. I goofed when I said what I really believed."

Will this be sufficient to induce the State of Israel to reopen its Robertson consular office?

The shadow knows.
