It seems that such is true of Pat Robertson, that there has been some inhibition factor to a side of him that he was once able to suppress that has or is waning. It is sad. Bishop Spong of course represents the left wing of the left wing of the left wing of the heretics club, so one would not expect kind words from him about Pat Robertson, but this little piece takes the cake. They should both retire.

But the "older folks" in my life used to listen to him, and now they all just have the "raised-eyebrow" look whenever his name is mentioned, so I think there's been some sort of decline...

Are these kinds of statements a recent development for him? Did he used to be more rational back in his younger days? I've never really paid much attention to him, so I don't know.

After the assasinate-that-guy thing and some other recent whack remarks he's made, including this ID thing, some of us are wondering if Pat maybe has some kind of health problem, and I'm being completely serious here. His comments and his politics are getting way out of hand, and it just doesn't make sense. Hi PS.
