    OK, well I meant someone more important than either of us (or at least me!) :D

    That said, he has now changed his tune again and apologized:

    <I>"Is it right to call for assassination? No, and I apologize for that statement," he said in a written statement. </I>

    So I guess he called himself out! :)

    VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) - Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson apologized Wednesday for calling for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, only hours after he denied saying Chavez should be killed.

    "Is it right to call for assassination?" Robertson said. "No, and I apologize for that statement. I spoke in frustration that we should accommodate the man who thinks the U.S. is out to kill him."

    How about a Hugo Chavez vs Pat Robertson Extreme Fight pay per view? Pat Robertson may have God on his side, but I bet Hugo Chavez can b*tch slap his *ss in less than a minute.

    Chavez Offers Cheap Gas to Poor in U.S.

    By David Pace

    HAVANA, Cuba - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, popular with the poor at home, offered on Tuesday to help needy Americans with cheap supplies of gasoline.

    "We want to sell gasoline and heating fuel directly to poor communities in the United States," the populist leader told reporters at the end of a visit to Communist-run Cuba.

    Chavez did not say how Venezuela would go about providing gasoline to poor communities. Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA owns Citgo, which has 14,000 gas stations in the United States.

    The offer may sound attractive to Americans feeling pinched by soaring prices at the pump but not to the U.S. government, which sees Chavez as a left-wing troublemaker in Latin America.

    Gasoline is cheaper than mineral water in oil-producing Venezuela, where consumers can fill their tanks for less than $2. Average gas prices have risen to $2.61 a gallon in the United States, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

    Chavez said Venezuela could supply gasoline to Americans at half the price they now pay if intermediaries who "speculated ... and exploited consumers" were cut out.

    Venezuela supplies Cuba with generously financed oil and plans to help Caribbean nations foot their oil bills.

    Chavez, in Cuba to attend the graduation of Cuban-trained doctors from 28 countries, was seen off at the airport by Cuban President Fidel Castro. Washington has accused the two leaders of being a destabilizing influence in South America.

    Chavez and Castro offered to give poor Americans free health care and train doctors free of charge.

    So what do you say about this latest episode of Pat Robertson, calling for assassination of a democratically elected foreign leader, then hiding in closet, denying the 'allegation' and lying about what he said, then finally forced to acknowledge and apologize for his comment?

    Any Pat Roberson followers or 700-Club members here?

    How about this routine: sin-> born again-> dead-> born again -> sin again -> born again?

    Or "A Bumpy Road to Heaven?"

    Or how about rightie's more familiar term: flipperty flopperty
