Pat Robertson Excuses Petraeus: 'Here's a Good-Looking Lady Throwing Herself at Him'

Yesterday on the 700 Club, televangelist Pat Robertson seemed to portray CIA Director David Petraeus as the real victim of the growing sex scandal involving him and his biographer, Paula Broadwell. He described Broadwell as an “extremely good-looking woman” who is a “marathon runner, she’d run Iron Man triathlons and so she’s out running with him, and she's writing a biography,” and Petraeus simply couldn’t help himself: “The man’s off in a foreign land and he’s lonely and here’s a good-looking lady throwing herself at him. He’s a man.”



Pat Robertson is something else.

Married?

Let's ask your Mrs. about what would happen if a "good look'n lady" threw herself (vomit!) at you...and you did the dirty with her.

I'll bet that your ass would be out the door, with at least one of the Mrs.'s feet up it!

What an asshole pig.

If she was home cooking where she belongs instead if going out to bars, she couldn't have been attacked. And if she'd been legitimately attacked, she wouldn't be pregnant because a woman's body has a way to shut that whole thing down, and...

Yea, just keep talking, Republican a-holes. Chase the last few women still voting GOP away. We'll welcome their votes!

If only we could force these ladies to wear hooded burkhas, maybe these fine outstanding men could resist tempation. Is the 700 club now endorsing Islam?

take away his tax exempt status for sure. What a lowlife. lying hypocrite.. and a criminal. Article below is from an older post when Bin Laden was still alive.



Pat Robertson Diamond mines that used slave labor, swindled relief efforts, and helped Al-Qaeda

Pat Robertson makes his money the same way Osama Bin Laden does, through blood diamonds and oil. He also has hindered relief operations in Rwanda and from FEMA. Hanging is too good for this scum.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Robertson

According to a 2 June 1999, article in The Virginian-Pilot,<18> Robertson had extensive business dealings with Liberian president Charles Taylor. According to the article, Taylor gave Robertson the rights to mine for diamonds in Liberia's mineral-rich countryside. According to two Operation Blessing pilots who reported this incident to the state of Virginia for investigation in 1994, Robertson used his Operation Blessing planes to haul diamond-mining equipment to Robertson's mines in Liberia, despite the fact that Robertson was telling his 700 Club viewers that the planes were sending relief supplies to the victims of the genocide in Rwanda. In response to Taylor's alleged crimes against humanity the United States Congress passed a bill In November 2003 that offered two million dollars for his capture. Robertson accused President Bush of "undermining a Christian, Baptist president to bring in Muslim rebels to take over the country." At the time Taylor was harboring Al Qaeda operatives who were funding their operations through the illegal diamond trade.<19>

It is very disgusting coming from A) a married man B) a man that is supposed to be or claims to be providing moral leadership C) Pat Robertson who is old enough to be my grandfather and I am plenty old myself. Gack, I could have stopped at coming from Pat Robertson.
