Robertson apologizes for saying stroke was a divine punishment

Ever hear the saying "Don't bite the hand that feeds you"? Well it's a new one to Pat Robertson.

Pat Robertson, the Christian broadcaster, has sent a letter of apology for suggesting that Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine punishment for pulling Israel out of the Gaza Strip.

Robertson's comments drew condemnation from other Christian leaders, President Bush, and Israeli officials, who canceled plans to include the evangelist in the construction of a Christian tourist center in northern Israel.

When they're done waking Sharon up maybe some of those Israeli doctors should help surgically remove Robertson's foot from his mouth. Thinking before you speak has become a lost art. Just ask Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. I have thousands of thoughts a day that I know better than to say publicy...hence...this blog.

''I ask your forgiveness and the forgiveness of the people of Israel," Robertson wrote.

Do you want forgiveness or the money you would have made if you hadn't opened your mouth? I'll always remember something my father told me as a boy. He said, "Son, it's better to be silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." That is why I had nothing to say between the ages of 9 and seventeen.
