      I'm more disturbed that Robertson thinks that anyone "drinks" canola oil.

      Okay, seriously, Pat, you sound like a "Zippy the Pinhead" strip. Remember when you were telling us Teh Jewz killed Abe Lincoln and God brought down the WTC because we don't deport gay people? That was completely insane, but at least we could tell the agenda behind it. This is just... it's like Salvador Dali is writing your cue cards.

      This man is not playing with a full deck. He traded his soul for a boatload of money years ago, and now he's just a lunatic.

      That was so random. Why in the world would someone ask Robertson's advice on the contents of canola oil. What is he a nutritionist now too? How many roles can this guy possibly play? When someone has been or pretended to be a televangilist, politician, writer, minister, businessman, rehab trainer, leiutenant, faith healer and all around insensitive, obnoxious moron I think he covered his bases. I wonder how many he actually contributed something positive to. That canola oil thing was in some email rumor - its actually much more health for people than most other oils and butter.

        Robertson is a global businessman with media holdings in Asia, the United Kingdom, and Africa. He struck a deal with Pittsburgh, PA-based General Nutrition Center to produce and market a weight-loss shake he created and promoted on the 700 Club TV show.

      Final "Rape" Tally Count:

      In a roughly 25 second time period, Robertson manages to get a form of the word "rape" in a total of five times. That averages to saying the word "rape" at least once every five seconds.

      It even beat out "canola oil" with four mentions.

      That coupled with the bizzare comment,

      "...rapeseed, it just sounds horrible to think you're getting raped when you're drinking some canola oil..."
      ... leads me to believe that there are some very scary skeletons in this man's closet.

      Granted, this is hilarious, but I don't understand why this is up on MediaMatters.

        My guess it's a demonstration of the absurdity of Pat Robertson in the media.

      I'm glad to see they're putting 'ol Patty to good use.

      Now he's being used as either a rape, or an oil expert.

      You can decide which one he knows more about.

      Either way, he knows more about rapeseed and canola oil, than he does about the bible.

      This isn't what George Carlin meant when he said that rape can be funny.
