Robertson lies again

Rob Boston at AU’s “Wall of Separation” has the most detailed piece I’ve seen on Pat Robertson’s latest lie: to boost sales of his protein shake, Robertson claims that he can leg-press 2,000 pounds! Clay Travis writes on CBS SportsLine that:

There is no way on earth Robertson leg presses 2,000 pounds. That would mean a 76-year-old man broke the all-time Florida State University leg press record by 665 pounds over Dan Kendra. 665 pounds. Further, when he set the record, they had to modify the leg press machine to fit 1,335 pounds of weight. Plus, Kendra's capillaries in his eyes burst. Burst. Where in the world did Robertson even find a machine that could hold 2,000 pounds at one time? And how does he still have vision?

Boston rebukes Robertson this way:

Here’s quick reminder to Pat Robertson: The Ten Commandments you so often laud mention lying – and they don’t recommend it.
