And then read his crazy "christian" words.. Pat Robertson says Alzheimer's makes divorce OK. Century Link News via AP. Does anyone take this obvious Dementia patient seriously anymore? (Note: My father suffers from late stage Alzheimer's, so I'm not flippant about his mental state. Robertson is definitely suffering from some kind of neurological illness. He HAS to be..) Excerpts:
Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson told his "700 Club" viewers that divorcing a spouse with Alzheimer's is justifiable because the disease is "a kind of death."
During the portion of the show where the one-time Republican presidential candidate takes questions from viewers, Robertson was asked what advice a man should give to a friend who began seeing another woman after his wife started suffering from the incurable neurological disorder.
"I know it sounds cruel, but if he's going to do something, he should divorce her and start all over again, but make sure she has custodial care and somebody looking after her," Robertson said.
The chairman of the Christian Broadcasting Network, which airs the "700 Club," said he wouldn't "put a guilt trip" on anyone who divorces a spouse who suffers from the illness, but added, "Get some ethicist besides me to give you the answer."
Nice. Is it wrong to want to punch an elderly dementia patient in the face? And just in case you think this is a fluke misstatement, here's some other Robertson zingers. I bet a couple of those really stung his butthole on their way out..
Enjoy your quiet time, Pat. I bet your mind screams when you're by yourself..
