(naked) apes gone wild!

this week renowned religious leader pat robertson took a hit out on hugo chavez, the leader of venezuela. i'm a bit taken aback. as much as i hate the goddamn cats and oppose their political and economic policies, i don't want them dead. we have an agreement on appropriate political dialog. i'll stand over here and strain on my leash and bark and snarl and you and you arch your back and hiss at me. i think someone may have spiked pat's holy water.

but poking in matters a bit more, i found that this is the tip of the frosty paw in terms of crazy things he's said. check out this gem from his rather paranoid-sounding book New World Order (the NWO! not to be confused with NWA):

It's time someone told you the truth. There is an Invisible Cord that can be traced from the European bankers who ordered the assassination of President Lincoln, to Karl Marx, to the British bankers who funded the Soviet KGB. They are members of the 'tightly knit cabal whose goal is nothing less than a new order for the human race under the domination of Lucifer'.

and this guy claims to have a million viewers per day. in spite of some recent bad press some other primates have gotten, i'd still take my chances with the hairy apes any day.
