Pat Robertson crazier than you thought: leg presses 2000 lbs

[Ryan O'Dine]

I’m bumping this thread because Robertson just “explained” his leg pressing on the 700 club. Apparently, by “leg pressing” he meant “leg extensions,” the difference being that in the latter, you are lying recumbent, pushing the weight up an incline -- with the help of your hands -- about 8 to 10 inches.

They had video of him doing, I think (supposedly) 1000lbs; and a photo of the machine draped with weights, which apparently proved he did it with 2000lbs. He also had a t-shirt commemorating the event, as if the photo wasn’t proof enough.

There was a shill doctor certifying all this. Apparently, lifting obscene amounts of weight when you have bad knees is good for them.

I wonder if Beelzebub will make him do this in hell.

This is a leg extension.

You're quite right, of course. "Leg extension" wasn't my term, actually, it was his (my post was very badly worded there). The description of what he did, however, is accurate.

Anyone who has followed Pat Robertson's "career" at all from the his early evangelist days knows his crazyness has no limit. Many folks only became familiar with Pat from his run at the Presidency when he attempted to modulate his nuttiness and began to call himself a "businessman". I remember years ago him on TV laying his hands on stacks of letters and delivering healings for the various calamities mentioned in them.

Those letters were from every person on the planet, young and old.

Forget the toll booth operator, I would pay Pat Robertson to cross a bridge! As long as he was headed away from me. I would not cavil over the bridge's completion or lack of it.

Pat Robertson doesn't walk on water, water walks on him.

According to the live vote over at MSNBC news, 95% of respondents don't believe him. Hee.

Oh, crud. You're right......

Pat Robertson built his personal fortune by answering Nigerian 419 scam solicitations. He has made over $650 million by giving the Nigerians his bank account numbers so they could deposit as much as $55 million at a time.

That's nothing. Rumor has it that Pat Robertson IS the widow of late dictator Sani Abacha. I never believe rumors, though.

Perhaps they choose the planet X option.
