Update on Pat Robertson's astrayedness

Well, interesting follow-up on Pat Robertson. Apparently, he thought only his Christian zealots watched his TV program, i.e., he never expected folk outside his "community" would glom on to his call to assassinate a head of state.

So when called on the media's carpet about what he said, he simply denied it. I was surprised, first of all, that the media chose to follow-up on this story. Maybe they detected a hint of outrage in the people who saw their original reporting of this. But that aside, Robertson said he never called for the assassination of Hugo Chavez. Instead, he said he simply called for his removal and "there's lots of ways to remove someone" from office.

Unfortunately, a replay of Robertson's original program revealed, in fact, he did call for Chavez's assassination! Or murder. Or execution. I guess, under the pressure of undisputable evidence contrary to his denials, Robertson has finally seen the light and issued an apology.

So, it appears Christians who sometimes go astray of their laws, can be returned to the flock--IF--their digressions are caught on videotape. Robertson is now back in the good graces of his shepards, the media, after advocating violation of God's Sixth Commandment and trashing God's Ninth Commandment, and apologizing for it.

Or IS all forgiven? Only Robertson's God can ultimately judge that, I guess. All in all, it's been a bad couple of days for ol' Pat. Sometimes hypocrisy just has a way of permeating and stinking things up far beyond its intended audience, which can be a bit embarrassing when caught. Especially on videotape.
