He's in trouble -- again

To Catch Robertson? Press "Play."

By Rick Horowitz

Step 2 was the special part.

Step 1 was your garden-variety Pat Robertson moment -- Robertson in front of the cameras saying something totally outrageous. Step 3 was your standard Pat Robertson sort-of-apology.

But Step 2 -- Step 2 was the special part. Step 2 was where Pat Robertson flat-out denied that he'd said what he'd said about getting rid of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. He'd never used the word "assassination," Robertson insisted. (Except, of course, that he had.) And when he'd gone on to say that covert operatives should "take him out"? Well, said Robertson, "'Take him out' could be a number of things, including kidnapping."

Right.

"Take him out" -- to a ballgame?
"Take him out" -- right out loud!
Robertson called for a death attack,
Now he's trying to take it all back,
So it's hoot, hoot, hoot at the preacher,
He's got no one to blame,
For it's one...too...many mistakes,
He's a holy shame!

"Take him out" -- to a nightclub?
"Take him out" -- to a show?
Pat thought he'd wriggle and he'd escape,
He forgot about videotape,
Now he's out, out, out as a liar,
Now he's had to confess,
The Commandments talk about that --
He's a holy mess!

"Take him out" -- for a picnic?
"Take him out" -- for a drive?
There's only one thing he could have meant:
Do away with a rogue president.
When you're Pat, you say what you want to,
He's the star, he's the host,
But if truth...still...matters at all,
He's just holy toast!
