Another in a long list of sanctimonious jeebus hypocrites crashes and burns

"Jimmy Swaggart, America's leading television evangelist, has resigned from his ministry after it was revealed he had been consorting with a prostitute.

In front of a congregation of 7,000 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he sobbed and confessed to "moral failure" without actually going into any detail.

"I do not plan in any way to whitewash my sin or call it a mistake," he told shocked members of his Family Worship Centre.

Turning to his wife, Frances, he said: "I have sinned against you and I beg your forgiveness."

Mr Swaggart's confession is all the more scandalous since he himself unleashed fire and brimstone against rival TV evangelist Rev Jim Bakker a few months ago for committing adultery with minister and secretary Jessica Hahn."
One wonders when self-righteous Little Ricky Santorum will be exposed.
Most probably because of a young feller.


"The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

Frothy Mixture could take Republicans down with him

Which is a sly double entendre if I ever saw one.
