More Pat Robertson

So, in the continuing "I am embarassed to be associated with all things having to do with Christianity, Western culture, and North America" files...

Pat Robertson backed off on his comments about assasinating Venezuelan presidente Hugo Chavez, saying he was "misunderstood". (As one newspaper writer pointed out, misundersood only by people who didn't speak English, perhaps.) And then, the next day, after Donald Rumsfeld called Robertson's comments "illegal" (how's THAT for irony???), Robertson retracted them entirely.

Still no retraction of the "feminism encourages women to eat their babies" comment, though.
