The Rude Pundit: Pat Robertson, Madmanhttp://rudepundit.blogspot.com/2005/05/pat-robertson-madman-rude-pundits-been.htmlThe Rude Pundit's been wondering for a long time why interviewers still talk to Pat Robertson, a crazed, hubris-filled idiot who tells people to put their hands on their TVs and their emphysema will disappear, those nasty non-healing wounds will close, and they'll get erections that last for days. And the reason was made crystal clear on Sunday's This Week: because Pat Robertson is head pudsucker of the batshit insane troop of headline whores and you never know what nutso shit is gonna spout from that smarmy mouth of his.
Apparently, the filibustering of a few judicial nominees by Democrats is "the most serious threat America has faced in nearly 400 years of history, more serious than al Qaeda, more serious than Nazi Germany and Japan, more serious than the Civil War," as host George "Behold My Gorgeously Coifed Bedhead Hair" Stephanopolopolopoulos put it, to which Robertson oozed, "George, I really believe that. I think they are destroying the fabric that holds our nation together. There is an assault on marriage. There's an assault on human sexuality, as Judge Scalia said, they've taken sides in the culture war and on top of that if we have a democracy, the democratic processes should be that we can elect representatives who will share our point of view and vote those things into law."
Quick run-down here: Nazi Germany and Japan, in addition to the whole genocide thing, killed hundreds of thousands of Americans in a war. The Civil War ripped apart the nation, creating divisions that last until today, resulted in more than 600,000 deaths, and the assassination of a President. Al-Qaeda's 9/11 attack not only killed 3000 people, but it undermined the way in which Americans relate to each other and the world. "Activist" judges might end up allowing gay people to get married. Seems like a fair comparison, no?
But, in case you doubt Robertson's word, well, there's higher authorities that will put the smite down on your disbelief. Stephanopolopolopoulos played a clip from earlier in the year where Robertson told 700 Club viewers (known here in Real World Central as "fucking idiots") what God told him was going to happen: "What I heard was that Bush is now positioned to have victory after victory. He'll have Social Security reform passed, that he'll have tax reform passed, that he'll have conservative judges on the courts."
