Update on Robertson: Israel tells him to shove it

Chicago Tribune | Israel: We won't talk to Robertson: "JERUSALEM --

Israel said Wednesday that it was breaking off negotiations on a tourism project with evangelical leader Pat Robertson in response to his remarks suggesting that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine retribution. 'We cannot accept these statements and we will not sign any contracts with Mr. Robertson,' said Ido Hartuv, a spokesman for the Tourism Ministry."

yeah, I just happened to flip across Robertson's program where he read his letter.

Made me think of a possible SNL sketch, where he creates a canned apology because of his constant foot in mouth situation.
