I can't believe this took two whole days -- these guys are losing their touch!

Television evangelist Pat Robertson suggested on Thursday that a four-foot crack in the Washington Monument caused by Tuesday's earthquake might be a sign from God.

"Ladies and gentlemen I don't want to get weird on this so please take it for what it's worth," Robertson said.

"But it seems to me the Washington Monument is a symbol of America's power, it has been the symbol of our great nation, we look at that monument and say this is one nation under God," he continued.

"Now there's a crack in it, there's a crack in it and it's closed up. Is that a sign from the Lord? Is that something that has significance or is it just result of an earthquake? You judge, but I just want to bring that to your attention," he said.

Just wait until the nation's capital of sin and avarice is wiped out by Hurricane Irene! Symbolism? As I believe it was Bill Ayers who imparted this wisdom to his young protogee Barack Obama*, you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind's blowing.
