Jeff Rosenzweig: Take Five (2014 and All That edition)

While another clod named Robertson has been hogging headlines, Pat Robertson just keeps on keeping on, a one-man dick dynasty of the old school variety. Despite his years, the octogenarian still packs more five-star dumb into a typical week than a teenager with a beer bong, a tube of airplane glue, a carton of fireworks and a boxed set of Jackass movies.

Robertson is among the last conservative chowderheads still desperately pushing the stale “Obama’s in over his head” meme. Conveniently skipping past the President’s largely successful half-decade of experience in geopolitics as head of state of the most powerful nation on Earth, Robertson claimed:

“Obama doesn’t understand what these things are, he’s never been in the military, he doesn’t understand it, he doesn’t understand geopolitics.”
