Pat Robertson: Dead

God created Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart and Jerry Falwell (among others) to make Pat Robertson seem a bit sane. But then, God got distracted and let Robertson stay on Earth a bit too long and the batshirt crazy became obvious.

We still have Franklin Graham.

Burn, bench, burn!

I wrote the sports-related obit for Jerry Falwell for the Lynchburg paper back in the day. It was interesting work.

When my college baseball team played a weekend series at Liberty University in the late '70s, we encountered Jerry Falwell sitting in the dugout with "his team." RIght next to Sid Bream.

Mere hours later, the Liberty scorekeeper attempted to save my soul over the dinner table.

Whatta weekend.

Someone I work with graduated from Liberty.
Whenever we do college t-shirt day, she wears one.
When she walks by, I involuntarily cringe.

It could be worse. It could be Bob Jones University.

Robertson's contribution to the scorched-earth style of Gingrich is signaled by his absolutely bonkers turn toward conspiratorial thinking. In 1991, he published "The New World Order," an argument that liberal elites make up a "tightly knit cabal whose goal is nothing less than a new order for the human race under the domination of Lucifer and his followers."

Doesn't sound a whole lot different than the florid lectures about The Cools and The Twitter Left enforcing their religion.

It could be U of Phoenix.

Posting this for the reply. BTW, Three Year Letterman is a tongue-in-cheek feed, so no need to point out the obvious mistakes.
