NORFOLK, Va. -- It's the shake that's causing quite a stir.

An evangelical media watchdog group claims Pat Robertson is abusing his nonprofit status to market an "age-defying" diet drink.

For years, Robertson has been touting the shake on his Christian Broadcasting Network and giving away the recipe for free. Now he's teamed up with the health food chain GNC to sell it nationally. The recipe includes safflower oil, protein powder and vinegar.

The head of the watchdog group, the Trinity Foundation, said the drink got big because it was promoted on donor-funded airtime.

1. I'm at that neat little part in "The best democracy money can buy"

Where Palast tells us all about Robertson and what a money driven, phoney, scumbag he is.

2. Is he sending a free case to Hugo Chavez?

Don't drink it, Hugo!

3. Yeah that's interesting, but I think the assassination story has more legs

I could be wrong though.
