Note to Pat Robertson: Just Sayin' Your Sorry Ain't Enough. . .

Despite the fact that Pat Robertson has apologized to Ariel Sharon's son and to the Israeli and Jewish people for the "insensitivity" of the timing of his remarks that God struck down Ariel Sharon and Yitzhak Rabin because they were "dividing God's land", the Israeli government is going to shut Robertson out of the major Biblical theme park "deal" planned for the Sea of Gallilee.

Rami Levi, director of marketing for Israel's tourism ministry, told The Associated Press that the government remains "outraged" by Robertson's remarks.

Israel's tourism minister, Abraham Hirchson, said Wednesday that Robertson's help was no longer welcome for the proposed center.

The Biblical park will proceed, but the funders that Israel has lined up to finance it will not include Pat Robertson. To give him that prize now, whether his apology was sincere or not (and I'd argue that it was not), would outrage too many Israelis from the right to the political left.

1. Well, at least the Israelis are beginning to understand with whom

they've made an unholy alliance.

6. Like they care about integrity. n/t

2. Well I guess old Pat will have to live on that gold and diamond mine

revenue for a while longer. I understand donations to his whatever coalition of fake Christians are WAY down.

That's because his boy george has bankrupted all his lower class fundie supporters. The dumbass should have realized for him to keep raking in the bucks his flock needed to be employed and have cash to waste.

7. He'll just start in about the "End Times"...

and get them worked into a fear frenzy. They'll take out another mortgage to send more dough.

They're stoopid enough to do stuff like that.

3. I love how Josh Marshall at TPM described him:

"Pat Robertson, prominent American cartoon character..."

:rofl::spray:

4. I think Mr. Robertsons punishment should be.......

to give up all of the riches he has acquired portraying himself as a Christian. Then he should be sent to Baghdad to preach the gospel of Christ. Just a thought.

8. There's already quite the group of twisted "Christians"

in Baghdad, trying to convert the heathens. They've been there a while...

They certainly don't need Pat added to the mix.

5. Lots of people think they can do anything if they say they are sorry

Sorry seems to be a restart on doing wrong once more. Interesting but I have known a lot of people who think that way.

9. They forgive everyone but Democrats. Have you noticed that?

Republicans get instant redemption, but Democrats are vilified forever.

10. I've always found Catholicism interesting in that aspect. n/t

11. It's YOU'RE, not "your" in the header.

13. Look for Pat to start the Rapture countdown any day now.

That'll show them ungrateful Israelis. Hmph.

14. That's what pat-boy gets for cussing; god damn him (Sharon) n/t
