Worst excuse ever

Pat Robertson apologized for calling for the assassination of Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez today, but claims he was "misinterpreted" by the press:
"I said our special forces should 'take him out.' 'Take him out' could be a number of things, including kidnapping."


Well, I'm glad that's straightened out, then.

I actually watched the offending clip off of CNN, and he quite clearly says "assassinate". Twice. :) There will be no back-pedaling here.

"In fact, what I /actually/ actually meant was that we should 'take him out' to a nice little dinner and discuss our differences.

(And poison dessert.)"

It gets worse everytime he opens his mouth.
