News Roundup for 1/13/10

One stupid asshole

-Headline of the day-
"Pat Robertson Cites Haiti’s Earthquake As What Happens When You 'Swear A Pact To The Devil.'"

Aging lunatic Pat Robertson thinks that the earthquake in Port-au-Prince yesterday was Haitians own damned fault. And his reasoning is reliably insane.

"[S]omething happened a long time ago in Haiti and people might not want to talk about it," Pat told the audience of Pat Robertson's TV Snake Oil Tent Show. "They were under the heel of the French. Napoleon the Third and whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, 'We will serve you if you get us free from the prince.' True story. And so the devil said, 'OK, it’s a deal.' They kicked the French out, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free."

Guess what? It's not a true story. No one sold their soul to the freakin' boogyman.

I'd make up a punchline for all this, but the only thing going through my head right now is "Fuck you, Marion 'Pat' Goddam Robertson. Just. Fuck. You." (Think Progress, with video)


-And you can say "Fuck you" to Marion, too-
You know who Pat hates almost as much as the Haitians, the gays, the feminists, the liberals, the unions, the Jews, the Muslims, the environmentalists, school teachers, university professors, and anyone not named Pat Robertson?

The United Nations.

So send a check to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) to aid in disaster relief for Haiti.

Then stay up all night saying, "Fuck you, Marion 'Pat' Goddam Robertson. Just. Fuck. You." (UNICEF)


-Bonus HotD-
"GOP Senate Candidate Marco Rubio Calls For Suspending Congress For Two Years To Fix The Economy."

Wow, that's the stupidest thing I've seen since I read that Robertson piece about ten minutes ago. Stupid comes fast and furious these days.

No wonder the teabaggers like this guy. (Think Progress, with video)
