Yep, the Huffington Post has already corrected the story, but not
before it is flying all over the internet.

On Monday morning's "700 Club", while discussing Hugo Chavez's
decision to continue shipping oil to the U.S., Pat Robertson went off
on a strange tangent about a producer who revealed the secret to his
muscular physique: cocaine. According to Pat, a "700 Club" producer
bragged to him several years ago about ingesting a "paste of cocoa" to
keep him strong. "Not cocoa like hot chocolate," Pat explained, "but
cocoa like cocaine." Pat displayed his grasp of the U.S. legal system,
saying "As I understand, the distribution of cocaine and its
derivatives are against the law." That didn't stop Pat from having a
good laugh at his coke-using producer's expense.
Update: Upon careful review of the episode in question, Robertson was
only guilty of using a vague pronoun. The "he" in question refers to
Hugo Chavez and not a "700 Club" producer. Huffington Post apologizes
for the error.
