That's the BIG question and noone seems to be able to answer it. All people on here can say is "Pat Robertson is a nut job." NO SHIT, but the man has one of the largest most loyal followings of ANY public figure in the US. It's also funny how the right will point to him and try to appease him and Falwell when they are "good GOP Christians" but the second something like this is said those same old GOPer's turn their back and say, "always knew he was nuts." Then why does Bush consult him?
This is just a wild guess at maybe why Robertson would say something that could sabatoge Bush..... Perhaps, they decided to try to make Bush look not so religious that even some right winged religious zealots disagree with Bush. But if that were the case I would think they'd look at a minor issue.
P.S. My aunt, who was a cartoonist for H&B in the late 60's through 80's, is/was a bigwig in the CBN/700 Club animation department. Know it was big when they had a cable channel and did a bunch of religious cartoons. think they are all straight to video and sold through church catalogues now. I don't know much. Haven't talked to her in a few years, invited her to the wedding but she declined, but sent money.
Just remember when I was stationed in Norfolk she gave me a tour of CBN. And when I was a kid I would get H&B cels of cartoons like Hong Kong Phooey and Laff Olympics and so on. Still have them somewhere at my mom's.
Sorry for the thread jack but I thought it interesting to tell.
