We aren't talking about the ones you buy on the street corner here, this is about one particular religious nut that goes by the name of Pat Robertson. Robertson has a history of saying and doing ridiculous things and apparently that is okay by Giuliani's standards. It isn't the religion or moral values (what values?) that Rudy admires, it is the influence that he supposedly commands over a large sect of Republicans and what that could mean for himself from an endorsement. With Rudy, the lust for power is practically worn on his sleeve.
From ThinkProgress:
Thank you very, very much, Pat. Thank you for the very kind words and the introduction. And thank you for having me here.
I am very, very impressed with Regent University, when I consider that it was founded just a short while ago. The number of graduates that you have and the amount of influence that you have is really, really terrific.
And of all the many things that you’ve done — and there have been many, and many contributions…
The only contributions I can think of is people like Monica Goodling that hail from this 4th tier law school that slither into our government and try to destroy it. The truth of the matter is that both men are merely seeking their own realms of power. Giuliani wants the religious right vote and Robertson wants to be seen as an important player in Republican politics. Both of these scoundrels make me sick.
