So now, Robem$ome apologizes.

[Walt Starr]

CNN has updated the story because Robem$ome has now issued a written apology:

I guess getting caught in the lie about how he never said "assassinate" when the video was replayed for him kinda made it impossiible to make the "out of context" claims any more.

1. He's not 'apologizing'

He's rationalizing and lying. "I never said that, I am being misquoted, taken out of context, blah, blah..."

[walldude]

2. I'm an asshole, I'm not an asshole, I'm an asshole, I'm not an asshole

I'm an asshole, I'm not an asshole, I'm an asshole,I'm not an asshole, I'm an asshole, I'm not an asshole,I'm an asshole, I'm not an asshole, I'm an asshole... Make up your mind Pat.

what an asshole...

3. This reminds me of something else, for some reason.

4. thou shalt not LIE LIKE A FUCKING PIG

[txaslftist]

5. I do hereby apologize if I offended anyone...

...or hurt my ratings or did anything to keep my listeners from sending in money.

6. "I was just kidding! Couldnt you tell?"

"OK Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry"!

[derby378]

7. "God has forgiven me. Why can't you?"

"Sounds reasonable to me, Betty. Send him little Timmy's college fund."

[terrya]

8. Fuck hm and his apology.

I refuse to accept it. He meant what he said Monday. He got caught up in a shitstorm of his own making and he's just trying to weasel out of it.

9. "Take him out" has many meaning? Not in any movie or TV show

I've ever seen. Sort of like Rumsfield - "last throes" can have many meanings. Or that WMD programs are the same as WMD bombs.

11. assassinate is ambiguous, too.

He could have meant character assassination.

you know 'take him out' on a date, get him drunk, then 'assassinate' his character?

Sure. Just harmless talk after all.

[FloridaPat]

13. My mind obviously needs some more family movies to see.

Yes, I didn't think of that. I will have to tune into Disney channel more than mystery channel.

10. So Pat, WHY DID YOU CLAIM YOU WERE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT????

And now you're apologizing?

Fuckwit.

What the fuckwit said:

"If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think we really ought to go ahead and do it," said Robertson Monday. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war."

His denial earlier today:

"I didn't say 'assassination.' I said our special forces should 'take him out.' And 'take him out' can be a number of things, including kidnapping; there are a number of ways to take out a dictator from power besides killing him. I was misinterpreted by the AP , but that happens all the time," Robertson said on "The 700 Club."

Now:

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

So Pat, are you a just a liar or a goddamn liar?

I say we hold his feet to the fire and never stop.

12. Advocating assasination, and bearing false winess TWICE now..

...and is only doing so after he is cold busted.

Piece of shit Christofascist.
