Pat Robertson is turning over his duties as chief executive officer of the Christian Broadcasting Network to his son but will remain chairman, the 77-year-old outspoken religious broadcaster announced Monday.

Robertson said he told CBN's board that it was time for him to pass on some of the duties he has held since he founded CBN in 1960 and that during the weekend the board had unanimously elected Gordon Robertson to replace him.

Did you ever notice how this guy looks like Alfred E. Newman when he smiles?

Maybe Pat will have time now to learn about Christianity, before he kicks off. Time to meet your maker, Pat! Better start praying, you diabolical phoney!

Lets just hope he does as good a job as Oral Roberts' boy has done with Oral Roberts University.

As with the Grahams, Roberts and Falwells the Robertsons trully believe God is the family business.

When Robertson dies, they won't do a 21 gun salute, rather they'll have a 21 wide stance salute.

Robertson gives control to his son. Geroge Steinbrenner gives control of the Yankees to his sons. Dolan gives control of the Knicks to his son. George H.W.Bush gives a presidency to his son. Jeez, whatever happened to making your own way?

Many years ago, when Pat Robertson was preaching "end times coming soon" nightly on CBN, he was cutting deals with cable MSOs for carriage of his program literally forever. A FRAUD THEN, A FRAUD NOW. WAKE UP, FOOLS. Robertson isn't "batty." He's a Republican capitalist who shills doom----for everyone but himself and his wealthy spawn.

I wonder if Jesus called Pat on the phone and suggested that he "retire" so Jesus could clean up the Church's image? Oh wait a minute, Jesus was busy practicing Yoga, and instead, sent an email.

Rev Pat taught his son well.

He knows exactly how to take money from the poor and place it in the family's coffers.

The Anti-Christ Legacy lives on.

Let's hope the old fool had just one son. We wouldn't want another sons-of-Abraham, relatives-of-Muhammed type schism and attendant warfare.

Not even Popes do that.

("We to keep the faithfuls money in our family you know".
But will the sky fairy give him the time of day?
"God, pass all further messages to my son. That's an order")

Yet they maintain a tax-free status. Criminal.

I am convinced Pat had plastic surgery to make that freakish perm-grin he is always sporting. He probably cries smiling!
