Tragedy often brings out the best in some people. And sometimes, it brings out the worst.
Please direct your attention to Exhibits A and B, Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh.
No one should be surprised that Robertson invokes God's wrath or Satan's trade-offs when horror hits. Whether it's a hurricane, a terrorist attack or an earthquake, one can be fairly certain that Robertson's Ouija board will point to a supernatural explanation.
Invariably, he blames the victims or some third-party behavior favored by Satan and frowned upon by God. What was behind the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11? America's moral decay. Hurricane Katrina? Abortion. Haiti's earthquake? A deal with the devil.
