Pat Robertson, who is working to build a Christian-friendly biblical themepark in Israel, suggests that Ariel Sharon's stroke is due to his authorizing the Gaza pullout.

Now that is chutzpah.

Also hubris.

Since it's Pat Robertson saying it, does that make it "chutzpah" with a 'ch' as in 'cheese'? I once heard a BBC interview of Alan Dershowitz and the announcer kept saying "his book Chutpah as if it were chutney. I cringed so hard.

I wish I had Robertson's powers to know what actions are God's specific punishments. "Ah! See? God didn't agree with you." Must be nice.

Yeah, you can understand his logic though. Really old men, having strokes? How common is that?
