Televangelist Pat Robertson: God told me so.Oh, my God!
 
Pat Robertson says, "God told me!"

Pat Robertson said Friday that God told him President Bush will be re-elected in a landslide:

I think George Bush is going to win in a walk. I really believe I'm hearing from the Lord it's going to be like a blowout election in 2004. It's shaping up that way.

The Lord has just blessed (Bush). I mean, he could make terrible mistakes and comes out of it. It doesn't make any difference what he does, good or bad, God picks him up because he's a man of prayer and God's blessing him.

The Rev. Barry W. Lynn, a frequent Robertson critic and executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, responded he had a prediction of his own:
I predict that Pat Robertson in 2004 will continue to use his multimillion broadcasting empire to promote George Bush and other Republican candidates,. Maybe Pat got a message from (Bush political adviser) Karl Rove and thought it was from God.
And interesting idea, but my take is that Robertson got the mid-August e-mail from Diebold CEO Walden O'Dell ("I am committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year."), and mistook it for a message from God.

Meanwhile, the Pope has called for a New World Order, and Jesus converted to Islam. I have no idea if these three events are related.
