And the Award for Asshole of the Year Goes To . . .

Just kidding -- it is way too early to be handing out that one. But Pat Robertson obviously thinks that all of his antics -- including publicly asking God to whack a couple of U.S. Supreme Court Justices -- just ain't gonna get him there. He's probably right about that, given that people like Tom DeLay and cross molester Larry Northern are clearly angling for this prestigious award.

So in an obvious effort to stay in the running, Pat Robertson now demands this:

"Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson called on Monday for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, calling him a 'terrific danger' to the United States.

"Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition of America and a former presidential candidate, said on 'The 700 Club' it was the United States’ duty to stop Chavez from making Venezuela a 'launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism.'"

Way to go, Pat!

UPDATE: Robertson explains what he really meant.

I wish Pat Robertson would stop apologizing. He may be a psychotic asshole, but at least he's not afraid to speak his mind.

Perhaps most disturbingly, I actually agree with him on this one - Chavez needs to go.

I read a pretty good analysis somewhere saying that Robertson is doing this stuff to embarrass Bush and this whole Chavez deal was actually a back-door criticism of the Iraq policy. Can't seem to find it, though.
