Pat Robertson...what a maroon

As Nitpicker points out, today is the last day of the Pat the Scat's Prayer Offensive (is there just something so wrong with that concept?) against the Supreme Court. I hope that Pat is appropriately horrified that the Hairy Thunderer ignored his pleas (please?) to strike down the three justices, but word on the street is that HT is busy creating new protein complexs to allow life to begin on the planet beta-Hydroxy II, in the Oreo Galaxy.

Robertson, who is now planning a prayer offensive against the Hairy Thunderer has something else to be annoyed about:

Liberia is in chaos, and that's bad news for televangelist Pat Robertson. Liberian President Charles Taylor has been indicted for war crimes by a UN-backed court in Sierra Leone, rebels control large chunks of the country...
...
That's not the business climate Robertson was praying for in 1998, when he invested in Liberian land containing gold that some speculate could be worth $1.7 billion. Robertson's goal: to find a way to forever fund his evangelical empire...
...
Now that Taylor's days appear numbered, it's not clear what will happen to Robertson's venture. He has spent $8.4 million with little return...

But here's the quote from the Unmitigated republican Fundie Hubris Department:
How dare the [U.S.] President say to the duly elected President of another country, 'You've got to step down.' ... I'm appalled."
Silly me, I thought irony was dead. Let me just ask Pat this...is Tom "End of Times" Delay your press agent now?
