Pat Robertson makes 2006 "most kooky" list early

'Stupefying' is the only word that I can come up with. No sooner does some tragedy strike than Pat Robertson finds a way to suggest that it's divine retribution for some policy with which he doesn't happen to agree.

What do you suppose he'll think when he's on his own deathbed? Not that he's done something to tick the Almighty off, that's for certain. Probably that he's being granted a promotion to whatever Valhalla he's convinced exists out there in the Big Nowhere.

The Reverend Pat Robertson says Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's massive stroke could be God's punishment for giving up Israeli territory.

The founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network told viewers of "The 700 Club" that Sharon was "dividing God's land," even though the Bible says doing so invites "God's enmity."

Robertson added, "I would say woe to any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course."

He noted that former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated.

Robertson said God's message is, "This land belongs to me. You'd better leave it alone."
