Silly Boys. When the Haitian earthquake devastated much of Haiti, Pat Robertson credited the cause of the earthquake to Haiti’s pact with the devil.  The tinfoil hat must have flown from Robertson to the pate of Señor Hugo Chávez of Venezuela.

According to Chávez, the Haitian damage was caused by the United States when a powerful explosive device was exploded off of the coast of Haiti. Chávez accused the United States of play God and further claimed that the explosion was a prelude to the explosion of a similar device which would cause damage to Iran.
