Sweet Jesus Pat Robertson, make up your mind. He earlier said his remarks about “taking out” Hugo Chavez were misinterpreted. Here is what his Web site now says:
“Is it right to call for assassination? No, and I apologize for that statement. I spoke in frustration that we should accommodate the man who thinks the U.S. is out to kill him.”
But he doesn’t seem all that damned contrite as he goes on in his statement in an attempt to justify his stupidity:
“There are many who disagree with my comments, and I respect their opinions. There are others who think that stopping a dictator is the appropriate course of action. In any event, the incredible publicity surrounding my remarks has focused our government’s attention on a growing problem which has been largely ignored.”
So I guess you want us to think you did us a favor there Rev, and I use the title loosely? Favors? We don’t need no stinkin’ favors.
