Pat and Wolf sitting in a tree.

Pat Robertson is on Wolf Blitzer right now and Wolf is letting everything go by. I mean, the only reason I can see for him to be on the show is to pretend he's reasonable and that all the crazy stuff he's said was blown out of all proportion. But none of that is true. He is a crazy bigot, and he should be ostracized from civilized discourse for the crazy, bigotted things he says.
This kind of stuff is what really ticks me off about the media: Pat Robertson is famous in the beltway culture as a right wing go to guy, so when you want "balance" you go ask him some meaningless questions that you already know the answers to about the events of day and you let him slide when he goes off the reservation.
Pat went all bughouse and started talking about the endtimes and Wolf didn't ask, "What do you think motivates this fascination with eschatology now and throughout history?" or, "What do you say to some within evangelical Chrisitianity who say that your focus on endtimes distracts from your Christian mission?" Nope, Wolf looked Pat square in the eye and said, "Alright, let's move on to the supreme court" (I'm prarphrasing). No, Wolf, it's not alright, he just said that we're all gonna die and God's gonna kill us to advance a millenial agenda of cosmic proportions on which the very nature of salvation and evil will rest and his proof is a set of some cherry-picked quotes from a translated collection of documents that he can't read in the original. I'd say this needs examining if his credibility as a media personality and CNN guest is to be upheld. Also, Pat said he didn't really mean that we shoot kill Hugo Chavez, but kinda he did.
