VIRGINIA BEACH (Rooters) — Controversial evengelist and television host Pat Robertson announced yesterday that he is personally responsible for Hurricane Katrina and the massive damage it has caused to New Orleans and surrounding areas.
In the past, Robertson has linked hurricanes and other natural disasters to homosexuals and what he described as their "sinful" behavior. However, this time he claims he himself is at fault.
"Clearly, the Lord was displeased by my recent call for the assassination of [Venezuelan President Hugo] Chávez," Robertson said on last night's broadcast of his popular "700 Club" television program.
"I apologized for the remark, but by then it was too late," Roberston added. "The Almighty had already launched Katrina on its path of destruction."

GB: Nice!
Of course there are all sorts of kooks out there, including these from Israel and the Christian right who insist Katrina is God's punishment to the US for Condoleeza having twisted Sharon's arm to withdraw from Gaza!
