pat robertson part duh

So earlier today, Pat Robertson went on air and claimed that he was "misinterpreted"...that the liberal media took his "take him out" as meaning assassination when in fact he meant kidnapping. Never mind he used the word assassinate and suggested that we do it ("If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think we really ought to go ahead and do it"), that doesn't matter...

But now, this afternoon, he has released another statement apologizing for his jackassity:

"Is it right to call for assassination? No, and I apologize for that statement," he said in a written statement.

Besides this being more flipflopping than Kerry did in any of the right's wet dreams during the last campaign (and all in one day), it seems that Robertson would do well to having the Ten Commandments put up in his office...

Specifically:

NUMBER SIX -- "You shall not murder"
NUMBER EIGHT -- "You shall not steal" (kidnapping being stealing)
NUMBER NINE -- "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor" (Pat's claims of Venezuela, a 98% Christian nation, serving as a forward position for Muslim terrorists -- thereby hitting the American paranoid 9/11 funnybone)
NUMBER TEN -- "You shall not covet your neighbor's house..." (This is all starting as a reliance on Venezuela's status as number four supplier af American oil)

On the other hand, perhaps the world would be better off if someone took Pat Robertson out (no matter how you want to interpret that)..
