Juanita was perusing the Washington Post this morning when she came across a story that made her go take a shower.  “Pat Robertson is forty miles of rough road,” she explained.

Former Liberian president Charles Taylor, testifying in his war crimes trial in The Hague on Thursday, said that his government had awarded American televangelist Pat Robertson a gold mining concession in 1999 and that Robertson later offered to lobby the Bush administration on the government’s behalf.

The good news is that Robertson never found gold there.  Robertson claims to have given clean drinking water and medical care to 200 Liberians – prior, of course, to working them to death in his quest for worldly riches.

“I suspect that somewhere Robertson has mining concessions for frankincense and myrrh,” Juanita says, “Lord knows that son of a motherless goat is gonna need it.”
