Pat Robertson is all over the news today for predicting that "mass killing" would somehow befall the U.S. this year.
I'm not sure why this guy's pronouncements garner such attention. He is clearly nuttier than a Baby Ruth. Maybe it's just the cognitive dissonance that happens when you remember that he ran for President in 1988 and garnered enough votes in Iowa to put a scare into Bob Dole.
You also have to wonder what sets him off. The last time he was in the news was when he asked God to strike down the president of Venuzuela, I seem to remember. What was it this time? Seeing all those politicians on TV at Ford's funeral and feeling left out?
Of course, Robertson's main purpose is to anchor the nut wing of the Republican Party and make people like Sam Brownback and Tom Tancredo seem positively rational by comparison.
