Stupid AND a Liar!
Pat Robertson soared to new heights of stupidity when he publicly called for the assassination of Venezuelan President (or “President,” if you prefer) on Monday. But Wednesday’s non-apology raised the crazy TV personality to new levels of, well, being a big fat liar.
Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson has issued an apology for calling for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
“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,” Robertson’s statement said.

The televangelist had previously said Wednesday that his comments were “misinterpreted.”
“I didn’t say ‘assassination,’” Robertson clarified 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.”
However, during the original “700 Club” broadcast Monday night, Robertson clearly mentioned assassination.
“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. “It’s a whole lot easier than starting a war, and I don’t think any oil shipments will stop.”
Of course, we all knew Pat Robertson was crazy. The only reason I’m posting this is because I found a picture of him with a big fish. I couldn’t pass on that.
