Hmmm...It's a toss up.

I prefer Rachel Maddow.

Pat Robertson got exactly what he wanted. He brought all the kneejerk conservatives out to defend him by bashing everyone they could think of who had a liberal stripe, and saying they're all just as bad as Robertson. Of course, they hijack EVERY thread to do that.

Jerry Falwell is saving a seat in hell for Pat Robertson. I'm not sure if Robertson is an idiot, but those that send him money ARE idiots.

I don't think Pat Robertson is an idiot. Think he made those comments in order to "fire up" his base to donate MORE to HIM!!

However, I found his comments concerning Haiti to be most Unchristian. He should be ashamed of himself. Jesus would weep.

He's a vicious bastard, not an idiot. He knows how to play on the fear and hate of his audience like a fiddle.

Robertson was there when this conversation with the devil took place. He was an eyewitness. (sarcasm)

I feel bad for Robertson, he clearly is going senile and is making up stuff now. He should be removed from his position as reverend since he is clearly not quoting the book.

Pat Robertson is just trying to get an audience back. You don't hear from him that much, well I don't anyway and don't want to. Make a comment that is picked up and broadcast all over the world news is great for his TV ratings! More and more people will tune in to see what he's going to say next. Why does he need more people watching? Because there will be some idiots out there to send more money!
I haven't listened to Mr. Olberman that much but I like what he said about these 2 clowns.
