CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Venezuela's vice president on Monday rejected as "crazy" recent accusations by American religious broadcaster Pat Robertson that President Hugo Chavez once sent money to al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.

Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel said the allegations appeared aimed at tainting Chavez's image and should be analyzed by "a team of psychologists ... because it is so irrational."

"He's crazy, at the very least," said Rangel, adding that U.S. officials should have immediately condemned Robertson's remarks.

Robertson said on CNN's "Late Edition" on Sunday that the Venezuelan leader sent "either $1 million or $1.2 million in cash" to bin Laden after the Sept. 11 2001 terror attacks in the U.S. Asked where he got his information, Robertson just cited "sources that came to me. That's what I was told."

10. How does this total nut case Robertson come up with the....

nonsense he spews. Could the sources who came to him with this info reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., in the West Wing?
