no no no, this can't be!

Extremely funny televangelist Jack van Impe has come out as the voice of reason on the Pat Robertson/Hugo Chavez incident. Van Impe, the voice of reason?! Wow, the evangelical movement is scarier than I thought! If you've never seen Jack's show, it consists of a woman feeding him news headlines which he than interprets as signs of the coming apocalypse using scripture. And he's the voice of reason?! Wow, I'm, flabbergasted...

In case you missed it, Robertson said that if Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez thinks the US want to assassinate him, then the time has come for us to do it. Advocating the assassination of a democratically elected foreign leader? I'm not sure that's what Jesus would do (Pat obviously forgot to look at his WWJD bracelet before opening his fucking mouth). The best thing about Robertson is that he constantly makes insane statements like this, tries to deny them, and then apologizes for them. And worse yet, his followers always forgive him (and even worse yet, many of them probably agree with him). Everyone in the current administration has said Robertson's comments are inappropriate, but none of them really disagree with him. He was just honest/stupid enough to say it out loud. I wonder when we are going to invade Venezuela (and spill that over into Columbia and Cuba)...
