Robertson Statement is a Ho
A friend of mine recently sent me this article about uber-bigot Pat Robertson:Hollywood - Pat Robertson on Sunday said that Hurricane Katrina was God's way of expressing its anger at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for its selection of Ellen Degeneres to host this year's Emmy Awards. "By choosing an avowed lesbian for this national event, these Hollywood elites have clearly invited God's wrath," Robertson said on "The 700 Club" on Sunday. "Is it any surprise that the Almighty chose to strike at Miss Degeneres' hometown?"
Robertson also noted that the last time Degeneres hosted the Emmys, in 2001, the September 11 terrorism attacks took place shortly before the ceremony.

"This is the second time in a row that God has invoked a disaster shortly before lesbian Ellen Degeneres hosted the Emmy Awards," Robertson explained to his approximately one million viewers. "America is waiting for her to apologize for the death and destruction that her sexual deviance has brought onto this great nation."
Robertson added that other tragedies of the past several years can be linked to Degeneres' growing national prominence. September, 2003, for example, is both the month that her talk show debuted and when insurgents first gained a foothold in Iraq following the successful March invasion. "Now we know why things took a turn for the worse," he explained.
In order to avoid further tragedy, Robertson called not only for the Television Academy to find a new heterosexual host, but to bar all homosexuals and bisexuals from taking part in the ceremony.
He said employees at the Christian Broadcasting Network had put together a list of 283 nominees, presenters, and invited guests at the Emmys known to be of sexually deviant persuasions.
"God already allows one awards show to promote the homosexual agenda," Robertson declared. "But clearly He will not tolerate such sinful behavior to spread beyond the Tonys."
When I read it, I was outraged; however, I thought it kind of strange that I hadn't read about it in the papers; on gay websites; heard it on Sirius OutQ or saw any mention of it on any of the right-wing websites I visit.
So, I did a GOOGLE search and found a lot of different websites carrying this story; all of these websites link back to Dateline: Hollywood (the site itself seems a bit satirical). I've even checked the archives of CNN, MSNBC and FOX, but found nothing.
Looks like ol' Pat is off the hook on this one. Damn.

I was so angry about this one until the end. Glad to hear it was a hoax...
Hee hee! Ellen Degeneres is the source of all evil. Of course, it makes so much sense!
I think it's funny.
