He lost his mind long ago.
And he lost his credibility as a Republican on 9-11 when he publically agreed with Falwell that the attack was God's punishment.
OK, he apologized. But later he suggested "nuking" the State Department.
Now this.
But the full measure of his thorough scoundrelism isn't his politics, it's that he made his fortune bilking the sick.
Don't picture a typical Robertson follower as some ill natured Eric Rudolph type. Picture a poor sick old lady who handed over a chunk of cash after being "healed".
That does more damage to the world than his politics. The only political clout he has is local, and that's just because he's rich, not his ideas.
