WaPo Editorial that struck my fancy

LOOK OUT, JAY Leno and David Letterman: Pat Robertson is at it again. The television evangelist and former Republican presidential candidate has a way of coming up with some real thigh-slappers. This one must have the people of Dover, Pa., rolling in the aisles. On Thursday Mr. Robertson said on his daily television show, “The 700 Club,” that because all eight Dover school board members up for reelection on Tuesday were voted out of office after trying to impose “intelligent design” on high school students as an alternative to the theory of evolution, God is not going to show up if there’s a disaster in Dover. They’d voted God out of the city, Mr. Robertson said. How Mr. Robertson managed to deliver that line with a straight face is beyond us. But we suppose that when you have his comedic touch, anything’s possible.
