Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson suggested on-air that American operatives assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to stop his country from becoming ”a launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism.”
”We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability,” Robertson said Monday on the Christian Broadcast Network’s ”The 700 Club.”
”We don’t need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator,” he continued. ”It’s a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with.”

Maybe Pat’s finally gone off the deep end. Maybe Pat’s trying to spend his meager “political capital” before it hits the expiration mark (roughly November 2). But there ain’t no maybe about Pat’s god-fearing, god-forsaken Sansabelt britches: bitch has clearly gotten too big for ’em. I can think of someone other than Chavez who ought to be taken out…
Although, I have to admit, installing Pat as the director of the CIA would certainly make things more interesting, n’est-ce pas?
