ROBERTSON BLAMES HURRICANE ON CHOICE OF ELLEN DEGENERES TO HOST EMMYS
Lesbian is New Orleans native


Hollywood – Pat Robertson on Sunday said that Hurricane Katrina was God’s way of expressing its anger at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for its selection of Ellen Degeneres to host this year’s Emmy Awards. “By choosing an avowed lesbian for this national event, these Hollywood elites have clearly invited God’s wrath,” Robertson said on “The 700 Club” on Sunday. “Is it any surprise that the Almighty chose to strike at Miss Degeneres’ hometown?”

Robertson also noted that the last time Degeneres hosted the Emmys, in 2001, the September 11 terrorism attacks took place shortly before the ceremony.

“This is the second time in a row that God has invoked a disaster shortly before lesbian Ellen Degeneres hosted the Emmy Awards,” Robertson explained to his approximately one million viewers. “America is waiting for her to apologize for the death and destruction that her sexual deviance has brought onto this great nation.”

Robertson added that other tragedies of the past several years can be linked to Degeneres’ growing national prominence. September, 2003, for example, is both the month that her talk show debuted and when insurgents first gained a foothold in Iraq following the successful March invasion. “Now we know why things took a turn for the worse,” he explained.

In order to avoid further tragedy, Robertson called not only for the Television Academy to find a new heterosexual host, but to bar all homosexuals and bisexuals from taking part in the ceremony.

He said employees at the Christian Broadcasting Network had put together a list of 283 nominees, presenters, and invited guests at the Emmys known to be of sexually deviant persuasions.

“God already allows one awards show to promote the homosexual agenda,” Robertson declared. “But clearly He will not tolerate such sinful behavior to spread beyond the Tonys.”

HEY! I'm sexually deviant! where's my invitation to the emmy's!

 

[Salvor-Hardon]

While I believe in God and think Pat Robertson is a joke, I want to know how he can link devastation in Louisiana to a orgy in California? Does Robertson believe in an infallible God with really bad aim?

Good Lord!

 

[Blushing Bottom]

True?

You can't make this shit up! Pat Robinson need a good...Well I'm too much a lady to say what he needs but someone should bend him over...

Nope - he thinks God has great aim. He thinks Katrina was an answer to his prayers to get John Roberts on the court. He told his CBN followers.

That is some seriously messed up logic.

I'm sending Pat Robertson my copy of St. Augustine and hope he'll read it.

Some how I kind of doubt he will though.

 

[sweetnpetite]

yeah, i think it is a joke.

the last line gave it away for me.

About Dateline Hollywood
Dateline Hollywood was founded in 360 BC as "Gladiators Weekly" to cover the booming entertainment industry in the coliseums of ancient Rome. Its pioneering analysis of the statistics of lion mauls and emperor thumbs up/down made it the original publication to take the business of entertainment seriously. Its premiere edition included "The Ten Gladiators to Watch" and an analytic feature, "Deaths by Daggers Down LXVIII Percent."

Over the years, the publication now known as Dateline Hollywood covered a number of different amusing industries as the times changed, transforming from "Inside Slave Trade," to "Bubonic Plague Infestation Monthly" (later quarterly, yearly, and eventually publishing just once per century) to "What's Hot in Renaissance Art," "Miracle Play Today!" and, following a move to the young United States in the early 19th century, "Minstrel Show Monthly," "The Ragtime Gazette," and, following the editors' realization in 1973 that ragtime's time had passed, its current incarnation.

Today, Dateline Hollywood uses the reach, speed, and cheapness of the Internet to bring a worldwide audience the freshest news from the current capital of world culture: Hollywood, USA. Whether you're an industry professional or Hollywood outsider, you'll find everything you need to know about the world of film, TV, music, and more right here from the publication that continues to live up to its founding motto to "cover with unerring integrity that which matters least."

Good Lord!

I thought that way of thinking vanished after the Salem witch hunts Does someone need to borrow a time machine and get back to where he belongs? Good grief, I suppose the next thing he'll be saying is that the world was created in seven days...

I blame the Puritans for much of America's sexual repression.

Nah... Americans aren't repressed. Deep down they're like Brits in the Victorian era - dirty buggers under the respectable veneer

As for Pat Robertson... methinks the gentleman doth protest too much. My money's on him being as queer as a nine bob note, but he's too scared to admit it, so he just gives other deviants a hard time.

 

[Salvor-Hardon]

yeah, i think it is a joke.

the last line gave it away for me.

Phew, then its not true. I was really beginning to worry there for a second.

Anyone who really thought like that could be so dense as to create a mental black hole and start sucking precious IQ points into the abyss.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

"Ban the homosexuals and bisexuals..."

Why stop there? Why not hunt them down and burn them on the stakes while we're at it?

 

[Dar~]

Ooo, can I insert Imp's stake?????

Yeah, him and Fred Phelps...

Calm down, folks. As SnP said, it's satire. http://www.snopes.com/politics/katrina/robertson.asp

Perhaps...

Except for the fact you weren't sure it was a joke. Nor was anyone who read it. That, in and of itself, should give you an idea of just how scary the man's fanaticism is. When what should be obvious satire is entirely credible enough to have to go, Geez, did he say that?

 

[Guest]

Calm down, folks. As SnP said, it's satire. http://www.snopes.com/politics/katrina/robertson.asp

Yes, THAT is satire.

But not the bit about God answering his prayers by bringing Katrina so John Roberts could be quickly appointed to the Supreme Court. That's true.

The man is seriously warped.

 

[minsue]

Yes, he is a scary fucking man. Especially considering the number of people who take is word as gospel.

 

[yui]

Yes, THAT is satire.

Well said, SSS.

 

[Halo_n_horns]

Here, write to him about it...

[Boxlicker101]

If Robertson said that, he meant it. He is one serious crackpot and has no sense of humor, at least that any normal person (or even Litizens) would recognize.

Would "Dateline Hollywood" print satire like that? If it had been "The Onion" or "National Lampoon" or some other publication like that, I would laugh about it, but if Robertson actually said it, he meant it.

 

[LadyJeanne]

Yes, he is a scary fucking man. Especially considering the number of people who take is word as gospel.

That's the part that really frightens me. He's been around for a long time, and he has a large 'audience'. Are they all thinking the same thing about Katrina and Roberts? How is this a Christian thought?

Yep, that scares me.

brava!
me too.
