PAT ROBERTSON’S FEATS OF STRENGTH: THE UNBELIEVERS
Thursday, May 25th, 2006
Some of you doubt Pat. Sure, you think it’s “big” and “cool” to not believe that the holiest most beloved-by-Jesus man in the world is also the strongest. Here’s what a couple emailers had to say:
I am a wrestling coach and longtime weightlifter. The video shows a hip sled loaded with three 45 lb. plates and two of those rubber plates used to make it look like you’re lifting more than you are (deep blue 10, green 25). So I’m guessing 330 lbs, tops; and it’s a HIP SLED, not a squat or a bench press, so yeah, a man of his age and of average vigor who works out regularly could do that. But 2000? Uh-uh.
A few more reactions, after the jump.

No doubt fresh on the heels of a confab with
Way to hustle, Pat Robertson, keeping evangelical Christianity interesting! As you may know, Pat recently called for someone to assassinate Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. A controversial move, to be sure, but we had no idea that Christianity was like some massive multiplayer game where someone could just take people out. (That’s what he said: ”We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability.”) Sure, Robertson has called for God to empty a couple of benches on the Supreme Court, but, generously, that could just mean asking God to make them sick, or asking God to give their spouse a terminal illness so they’d have to retire. Assassination, though? Hottt. Is there a plug-in that allows you to fuck? Better hope Hillary doesn’t try to ban it.
