Pat Robertson and Haiti

This is all I'm going to say about it:  There's now a mandatory waiting period between a tragedy/disaster/other emergency and vicious bullshit.  One week.  Give us one week to find and bury the dead, treat the injuries of the living, establish contact between families, replenish medical supplies.  Is one week too long?  Afraid you'll stop getting eyeballs and subscriber dollars if you shut up for one tiny week and let the population contain the damage?  Afraid you'd have to offer a modicum of respect for the victims and their families?

I just can't fathom.  Did this beat the turnaround time for 9/11 to be blamed on every rightwing boogeyman?  I think it might've.  For once, just once, I'd like to see an actual Christian response.  At least a Beatitude-driven response.  At least give me a "feed the hungry, clothe the naked" moment.
