Given the comparative shortage of hard news stories at this time of year that are not everywhere else, Andy Borowitz has a fantastic piece on Pat Robertson\u2019s love for the LGBT community. The irony here is that, funny as he is, Andy cannot hold a candle to Robertson\u2019s own extreme antics.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"28Robertson\"VIRGINIA BEACH (The Borowitz Report<\/a>) – Rev. Pat Robertson sparked controversy in today’s broadcast of his 700 Club program when he claimed that God created the blizzard currently battering the Northeast "to punish Americans who were planning to drive to do something gay."<\/p>\n

Explaining his theory, Rev. Robertson said, "Because of the bad road conditions the Almighty has made, any gay activities that people were planning on doing will have to be postponed by a day or two."<\/p>\n

Additionally, he argued, God shut down major airports in the New York area "so that people who were hoping to fly to do something of a gay nature would have to take a train or a bus, so it might be days before the gay thing they were going to do could occur."<\/p>\n

As for the millions of straight people in New York City who were also grounded by the bad weather, the televangelist said, "I think God probably wonders, if these people are really straight, then what are they doing in New York?"…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I can\u2019t help but remember the time Robertson prophesied that God would strike Disney World with a hurricane to punish them for ending their discrimination against hiring gay employees.  The next hurricane made landfall at Virginia Beach and damaged Robertson\u2019s own headquarters.  Doesn\u2019t God have a great sense of humor?<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
