Half Hearted Apology

Oh great, so Pat Robertson apologizes for suggesting that President Chavez of Venazuela should be assassinated. He even tried to say that he did not use that word. He is really a sad case. And did you see him make his "apology" while he was smiling and laughing like he was at a garden tea party. I guess he takes his cues from President Bush who can never look serious. Bush always looks so pained, so frustrated, like a little kid who could not get what he wanted. It would be nice to have a president with a serious and professional demeanor something but that is something Bush apparently knows nothing about. I wonder what other world leaders think when coming face to face with this grinning fool?

Here are some snippets of letters to the editor this morning regarding that madman Robertson...

"Robertson will be pilloried as a screwball but, for me, he's just a more transparent, less scheming, less deceptive, less powerful version of Bush. Both share the mind-set that scorns international law while elevating power and military overkill to punish unbelievers who block their God-given missions..."

And if he had ever been nominated for president and won: "I can envision bands of Christian Fundamentalist death squads roaming the East and West coasts of the U.S. searching out openly gay and lesbian people, Unitarians, French chefs, "Hollywood types," poets, writers, artists, evolutionary biologists and anyone else who they feel is an "elite."

Yes, as one letter writer said, this is a good reason to have "complete separation of church and state." If we don't, the American Taliban will bring this country down in flames rather quickly.

We need to right the ship of state but I fear that with so many no-nothings (of all ages) who have no reference to past presidents and to history, we are now doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past but in an even more violent manner.
