Best LTTE ever!

This was in today's Strib. I heard it read on either Stephanie Miller's or Thom Hartmann's show but I didn't realize it was from here.

Dear Pat Robertson,
I know that you know that all press is good press, so I appreciate the shout-out. And you make God look like a big mean bully who kicks people when they are down, so I'm all over that action. But when you say that Haiti has made a pact with me, it is totally humiliating. I may be evil incarnate, but I'm no welcher. The way you put it, making a deal with me leaves folks desperate and impoverished. Sure, in the afterlife, but when I strike bargains with people, they first get something here on earth -- glamour, beauty, talent, wealth, fame, glory, a golden fiddle. Those Haitians have nothing, and I mean nothing. And that was before the earthquake. Haven't you seen "Crossroads"? Or "Damn Yankees"? If I had a thing going with Haiti, there'd be lots of banks, skyscrapers, SUVs, exclusive night clubs, Botox -- that kind of thing. An 80 percent poverty rate is so not my style. Nothing against it -- I'm just saying: Not how I roll. You're doing great work, Pat, and I don't want to clip your wings -- just, come on, you're making me look bad. And not the good kind of bad. Keep blaming God. That's working. But leave me out of it, please. Or we may need to renegotiate your own contract. Best, Satan

4. Thanks, DFLPrincess! I missed that LTTE and it's perfect...

Actually, I'm glad that Robertson made that asinine statement, since it outraged everyone, even those that didn't seem so fazed by previous pronouncements blaming gays, non-christians and feminists for various disasters.

Pat Robertson is the epitome of the pious, hateful hypocrite that turned me off of religion at a very young age.

6. It didn't faze Michele Bachmann--she appeared on his show the very next day

And nary a word from our congresswoman about Robertson's comments.
