Reverend Pat Robertson is one of the Bush cronies.
I had to laugh at this given that Bush, Jr pissed off old Fat Pat, costing the blood diamond mogul a small fortune.
Huh?
Yes, one of Robertson's "missionary projects" includes exploiting the African diamond trade. Seems he had millions of dollars of mining equipment sitting on the dock during some kind of political silliness there, and Georgey Jr. wouldn't pull the strings for getting it released. As I recall the article, Robertson lost a butt load of cash and hedged much of his talks in ways that weren't as supportive of Bush as his original support was. But then, several evangelists distanced themselves as they realized what a big mistake their support was of the man they'd put in position to abuse presidential power.Statistics: Posted by Craig Browning — 05 Sep 2010, 20:46
