ROBERTSON BLAMES HURRICANE ON CHOICE OF ELLEN DEGENERES TO HOST EMMYS

Lesbian is New Orleans native

Hollywood, CA - Pat Robertson on Sunday said that Hurricane Katrina
was God's way of expressing its anger at the Academy of Television
Arts and Sciences for its selection of Ellen Degeneres to host this
year's Emmy Awards. "By choosing an avowed lesbian for this national
event, these Hollywood elites have clearly invited God's wrath,"
Robertson said on "The 700 Club" on Sunday. "Is it any surprise that
the Almighty chose to strike at Miss Degeneres' hometown?"

Robertson also noted that the last time Degeneres hosted the Emmys,
in 2001, the September 11 terrorism attacks took place shortly before
the ceremony.
