Pat Robertson blames bad marriages on 'awful-looking' wives


 
Listen up, women! Brush your teeth, comb your hair, lose weight and put on some decent clothes. How else do you expect to keep your man, sayeth Pat Robertson.

During a recent episode of his "700 Club" show on the Christian Broadcasting Network, Robertson -- who married his wife in 1954 -- shared this bit of marital advice to "awful-looking" women everywhere.

"A woman came to a preacher that I know, and she was awful looking. I mean, her hair was all torn up and she was overweight and looked terrible, clothes bad and everything," he recounted.

"And she said, 'Oh, Reverend, what can I do? My husband has started to drink.' And the preacher looked at her and said, 'Madam, if I was married to you I'd start to drink too.'

DUmmy proud2BDUmb Anne Pritchett is an exceptionally vile-looking woman even for the DUmp.

She looks mongoloid.

Her marriage must be awful to be that ugly.

Pretty sure I heard that joke years ago.

Robertson remembers the old song:

Quote
If you wanna be happy
For the rest of your life,
Never make a pretty woman your wife,
So from my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you.

Don't let your friends say
You have no taste,
Go ahead and marry anyway,
Though her face is ugly,
Her eyes don't match,
Take it from me she's a better catch.

But you'd have to draw the line at Anne Pritchett or nutcase nadin.

After seeing that pic of Pritchett, I had a rough night sleeping.

That's an awful picture, isn't it? 

GOBUCKS, you may be disturbed to know that that's one of Vesta's favorite songs.  She cites the advice frequently. 

Robertson has a point with his old joke (sounds like something Churchill would have said).  It's a sign of respect for both yourself and your spouse to be at least clean and well-groomed.  Goes both ways.  Your own beloved shouldn't need a spork alert before you enter a room.

Right.  No one else got that?

Anne, most decidedly, did not get that.

Shocker.  We all know they have the sense of humor of a Heinrich Himmler.

I never see a word from that nitwit unless someone is so inconsiderate as to quote her.
