Pretty amazing — a 76 year old man leg pressing one ton.  One TON!

It’s especially amazing when you consider that the collegiate world record for the leg press is 1,335 pounds.  That was set by Dan Kendra of Florida State University, who had to use a specially modified leg press machine, since the normal ones don’t go that high.  And even then, the capillaries in Kendra’s eyes burst when he set the record.

But not Pat’s.  Pat beat him, by a full 665 pounds.

Or — could it be — that Pat is bearing false witness?   Naaaaaaah…..

Bob Harris snarks:

I’d really, really like to see Pat Robertson strapped to a table somewhere, with 2000 pounds being slowly lowered down on top of him. This would be Pat’s big chance to show us just how fantastic his drink-powered leg-presses really are.

I’d really like this chance to see I was wrong for doubting him. In fact, I would like to see this on Pay-Per-View.

Then we could all see just what an honest man Pat Robertson really is.
