Fabulous Fumble of the Week, Nov. 14 - Pat Robertson
Last week was special. There were so many fumbles that we actually had a very hard time determining which one was most deserving of our award. Some weeks the play is hard, with few mistakes, but not this past week. Who would it be, Hadley, Robertson, O'Reilly, Santorum, Frist? It was a hard choice. Even the Pres was in the running again. How many times can you run the same play (his Veteran's Day speech) before it becomes ridiculous?
After much reflection, discussion, argument, dice rolling and dart throwing we came to the conclusion that our pal Pat should win this week's award. Pat said,
Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson warned residents of a rural Pennsylvania town Thursday that disaster may strike there because they "voted God out of your city" by ousting school board members who favored teaching intelligent design.
All eight Dover, Pa., school board members up for re-election were defeated Tuesday after trying to introduce "intelligent design" - the belief that the universe is so complex that it must have been created by a higher power - as an alternative to the theory of evolution.
"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God. You just rejected him from your city," Robertson said on the Christian Broadcasting Network's "700 Club."
I guess this guy has a brain, and many people think he is smart, and has meaningful things to say. They believe him, hold him in high regard, feel that he will provide them with guidance to a better self and more peaceful world. Wow, it is hard to believe. In non-Presidential elections, especially when there is no large state election, voter turnout is low. The four districts in Dover had voter turnout of 40, 40, 35 and 23 percent. So because of those numbers, Mr. Robertson, who has a direct connection to God, unlike the rest of us, contends all the good citizens of Dover may expect disaster. This would include all the folks who didn't and couldn't vote, like children, the sick, folks who couldn't get to the polls, those that forgot, or whatever. It is a good thing he has a Christian heart. This is an award that Pat truly deserves, you win our Fabulous Fumble of the Week.
