This Dallas Observer story about a bodybuilder suing Pat Robertson involved a number of complicated legal issues, but the gist of it is, Pat Robertson is a prick. That's what we got out of it, anyway. Highlights:

• Bodybuilder appears on 700 club, is asked to not mention Pat Robertson's miracle weight-loss shake, mentions miracle weight-loss shake.

• Bodybuilder fires lawyer, represents self. Robertson, you may remember, is a lawyer.

• Bodybuilder's "Web site is covered with profanity-laced diatribes against Robertson, Hawk," and Anderson Cooper.

• Bodybuilder: "They're going to take him away like Jimmy Bakker, with the handcuffs and crying and shit."
