***UPDATE*** New Post builds on this one: UPDATE: Why weren't Kerry and Bin Laden a "duo"?

Obviously Pat Robertson could have chosen a better way to say what he was saying about Sharon's recent health issues... We've all heard it talked to death, but everyone should at least watch/listen to what Robertson said for themselves. The Political Teen has the video. He probably shouldn't have been commenting on it in this way at all, but the media has really been blowing this thing up... mainly because they know he's a known Republican supporter and they think this will somehow hurt the party.

Anyway, Robertson is a believer in acts of God and he only puts forth that it's odd that this happens to Sharon now, considering what he has recently overseen in Israel... Robertson even throws in a reference to the assassination of former PM Yitzhak Rabin. Again, the comments were probably out of place, and obviously not very tactful... but any clear thinking person can see that it hardly rises to the level of what was said by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The other day Ahmadinejad said:

Hopefully, the news that the criminal of Sabra and Chatilla has joined his ancestors is final

Now seriously, if you've watched the video and heard Robertson's statements, you would have to agree they are nothing close to Ahmadinejad's words. But let's see how the MSM feels...

Okay, I wouldn't expect too much from a Washington Post editorial. So I can almost let this one slide:
Robertson{heart}Ahmadinejad, if it weren't for the fact that they chose to link to it from their home page under the headline: Robertson loves Ahmadinejad. Still, it's labeled an editorial, so we'll cut them some slack.

But wait... I then find another WAPO article, this one by Alan Cooperman, over at The Seattle Times site entitled: Duo says Sharon's illness is deserved. Wow! I hadn't realized that simply saying two totally different things on two totally different levels suddenly made them a "duo". And I certainly didn't hear Robertson say Sharon "deserved" anything, come on! I know the libs will have fun trying to spin this one, but calling them a "duo"? I suppose we can call Howard Dean and Baghdad Bob are a duo? I suppose Bin Laden and Kerry are a duo? How about the Democratic Party and Al Qaeda? I mean, how many times have those "duos" actually said things that were virtually identical?

Here's another one... This actually appears to be a slight variation on that last one, but I found it at the Salt Lake Tribune, entitled: Robertson, Iran's president say Sharon's illness deserved

Again, this post isn't in support of Robertson's statements... but I think it's clear that the Washington Post (and plenty of others, just do some of your own searches) went a little overboard with all the "shared feelings" "duo" said Sharon "deserved" bologna.

In closing, here's a quick image for you of some partial screen shots I took of these articles in the order I mentioned them:
