Radical Cleric Pat Robertson on CSPAN now.

When asked if the invasion of Iraq has improved the view of Americans in the Arab world he said: (Paraphrasing)

"It's to early to tell, but it looks good."

1. You want to know something funny?

He has a J.D. He graduated from law school when he was younger. Was he ever ordained as a minister through a church?

3. Thanks.

I enjoy collecting data on the members of the RRR (Radical Religious Right).

Now, the RRR has its little ol' "Arlington Group," and Tony Perkins (Family Research Council) and Dobson (Focus on the Family, et al) are members; it meets with Rove and Congressman galore.

Wonder if Pat has any influence anymore? And is he a member of that group?

Interesting ....

4. I saw him--truly frightening, but also pathetic

He is so pushy, so arrogant, so cocky--he feels as though he and his religious right are in the majority--that because they stole the election, his agenda has a mandate. Feels that the biggest problem now are all of those liberal judges who refuse to respect the Constitutionn! Religious freedom only means for his own kind.

A cranky old man who thinks people care what he has to say. Time's running out, old boy. You are irrelevant, and only think you are speaking from any sort of majority.

5. Can I just say

that I love that you used "Radical cleric" to describe him? Perfect.

[brainshrub]

6. I think we should all use that phrase to describe him.

It's a spot-on description since Robertson IS a radical RW cleric.
