According to Dateline: Hollywood, Pat Robertson, certifiably crazy crusading Christian-right televangelist, has declared Hurricane Katrina as God’s way of punishing the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for selecting Ellen Degeneres as the host for this year’s Emmy Awards.

“By choosing an avowed lesbian for this national event, these Hollywood elites have clearly invited God’s wrath,” Robertson said on “The 700 Club” on Sunday. “Is it any surprise that the Almighty chose to strike at Miss Degeneres’ hometown?”

Robertson also noted that the last time Degeneres hosted the Emmys, in 2001, the September 11 terrorism attacks took place shortly before the ceremony.

“This is the second time in a row that God has invoked a disaster shortly before lesbian Ellen Degeneres hosted the Emmy Awards,” Robertson explained to his approximately one million viewers. “America is waiting for her to apologize for the death and destruction that her sexual deviance has brought onto this great nation.”

What?! I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised, this is, after all, coming from the same guy who asked everyone to pray for Supreme Court justices to die seats on the Supreme Court to become available (dubbed Operation Supreme Court). But did they say “one million viewers”? One million people actually listen to him?! Now that’s scary.
