God, Still Talking to Pat Robertson

Jehovah is getting cagey with the Rev. Robertson, because though He has shown the Reverend who the next U.S. President is going to be, He doesn't want Pat to spill those beans, which seems, actually, kind of a disservice here on the eve of the Iowa caucuses, since knowing the will of God could greatly simplify the choices tonight. Robertson on the 700 Club today: "I think He showed me the next president, but I’m not supposed to talk about that, so I’ll leave you in the dark — probably just as well — I think I’ll know who it will be."

The verbatim message from God that Robertson read on his TV show makes it appear that God has been reading Chris Hedges but is actually pretty late to that party, predicting economic collapse, like, a couple of years behind the curve.

Perhaps God has spent so much time chatting with Pat Robertson that he sorta kinda missed the biggest story of 2008.
