Heavens! Pat Robertson Steps Down from CBN

The controversial preacher man announced on The 700 Club yesterday that he's handing over the CEO reins of the Christian Broadcasting Network to his son, Gordon. The elder religioso, however, will remain chairman, and God, president. The revelation was met with skepticism by at least one critic of Robertson's. According to the Rev. Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State: Robertson "is not going to lose ultimate control of his creation. He is much too interested in throwing his weight around in this current presidential campaign." — Ben Katner
