I can lift 50,000 pounds with a long enough, strong enough rope, a strong enough mounting point, and enough strong pulleys. :-/ Either he had some sort of mechanical advantage or the number is wrong. Either way, he didn't lift 2000 pounds with his legs.
Compare Pat with [link|http://www.americanpowerliftevolution.net/PaulAndersonPage4.html|Paul Anderson].
[image|http://www.americanpowerliftevolution.net/andersondeadlift.jpg|0|Paul Anderson|181|196]
While there's some dispute about whether he backlifted [link|http://209.204.62.73/SportsLibrary/IGH/IGH0701/IGH0701e.pdf|6270 pounds] (6 page .pdf) in 1957, there's no doubt he was extremely strong and he didn't come close to leg-lifting 2000 pounds. His legs were 36" around.
OBTW, Pat's physician has done [link|http://www.cbn.com/communitypublic/legpress_explanation.asp|2700 pounds] so Pat doesn't have the record. :-/
IOW, it's more of the same from Pat and his handlers.
Cheers,
Scott.

Super Best Friend with the power to leg press 2000 lbs!
If I was going to believe his god grants Pat Robertson super powers, I'd imagine it was something more useful than leg pressing large weights. I thought curing the incurable was the standard power for prophets.

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?

As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
