Keith Olberman said it best:
" ... Even the worst of us in this political mosh-pit of the early twenty-first century can stop, on occasion, in grief and human sympathy and mourning, or just in self-preservation - not Rush Limbaugh and not Pat Robertson - we'll explore this at length later - but mister Robertson, it is laughable now to call him 'reverend', explained today that this earthquake was the result of a quote "deal with the devil" that he claims the nation made in the nineteenth century to gain its freedom from France - "true story", Robertson says.
Sir, because of your tone-deafness and your delight in human misery, and your dripping self-satisfied holier than thou senile crap, I am now likelier to believe that you are the devil.
Limbaugh, meantime, did not know when to just shut up. Today he blamed communism for the poverty of Haiti, blamed president Obama for holding a news conference the day after this cataclysm, when he did not hold one after the failed half-assed terror attempt at Detroit, and said mister Obama would quote use Haiti to quote "burnish their, shall we say, credibility with the black community in the both light-skinned and dark skinned black community in this country".
Mister Robertson, mister Limbaugh - your lives are not worth those of the lowest meanest poorest of those victims still lying under that rubble in Haiti tonight; you serve no good, you serve no god; you inspire only stupidity and hatred, and I would wish you to hell. But knowing how empty your souls must be for you to be able to say such things, in a time of such pain, I suspect the vacant purposeless lives you both live now, are hell enough already."

SPOT ON!
Go ahead, play it again. It's worth every eloquent second.
I stand in awe of mister Oberman's ability to express so well what so many of us have thought for so long.
Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh are both among the worst examples of homo sapiens in our age; their hateful spew, and the cretinous fans who hang upon their every venom-dripping word, drag down the human average and ruin the curve.
That they are still among us indicates more strongly than anything else possibly ever could that even the devil has standards.

THE ADDENDUM AT TEA
Tea time, as regular readers know, is very important to me. But instead of going to one of my regular places I gave it a miss today. I just ...

Could not have said it better myself. Remember all the celebrating in the streets in the Castro when Jerry Falwell died? Imagine what it will be like when these devils croak.
Pat R. claims that the Haitians formed a pact with the devil to free them from the domination of Napoleon III. Considering that the Haitian revolt was in the 1790's and Napoleon III wasn't born until 1808 and didn't become President of France until 1848, and Emperor until 1852, one can only conclude that Pat must assume that somebody here was using time travel of some sort.
His comments do provide evidence in support of the European attitude that Americans are stupid ignoramuses.
Pat R. has obviously lost his mind some time ago. Unfortunatly this is not the first time he has said something outlandish.I just hope the people that live on the island don't hear about that insane comment.

Apparently one of those two is being seriously considered as Trump's veep.
