Pat Robertson's Feats of Strength

Watching TV last night I blundered across Anderson Cooper's show and piece on our good old friend The Right Rev. Pat Robertson purportedly doing 2,000 pound leg presses with a weight sled. See the video. (or go to CBN and get Pat's shake recipe.) But much has been said by critics about his technique. On Cooper's show a champion bodybuilder pointed out the Rev was not only getting help from Jesus, but also using his arms to push his legs, sort of a bench press/leg press/calf raise combo. Other doubters weigh in on Wonkette.

I have to agree with the critics that these are not really leg presses. But on the other hand, the dude is 74 years old. Give him some props for keeping active...even if it means he'll continue to plague us with his rantings on the Middle East, terrorist attacks and predictions of locusts and tsunamis.

I almost forgot, in my post yesterday about Brazil's WC fortunes, to add Bobby McMahon's 10 Reasons Brazil Won't Win the World Cup. Check it out and see what the Scottish Prognosticator has to say.
