What's that? Separation of church and state?
The funniest thing about the "Reverend" Pat Robertson is that he isn't even a reverend anymore. That's right ? he gave up his ordination as a baptist minister in 1988 when he ran for president. After all, you can't blatantly violate the separation of church and state.
