Bob McDonnell, COME ON DOWN!!

You're the most famous graduate of Crazy School, aka Regent University.

I'll bet you just felt all entitled and such, right?

What's really silly is how little it cost to buy you.

Good luck. I hope you and the missus like orange.

Just speculating.

Or, hoping.

Liberty University? Jerry Falwell.

Christopher Hitchens summed him up precisely:



In another interview about Falwell Hitchens said:
If you gave Falwell an enema he could be buried in a matchbox.


on edit: Sadly, OP was corrected. It wasn't Falwell's Liberty U, but Pat Robertson's Regent U. Regardless, both those guys are equally full of shit. So Hitchens' quote would equally apply.

Swaggert's fall from grace coincided with Zappa's 1988 tour. Zappa loathed televangelists and was not shy expressing that opinion.

"No, we never put the squeeze on that rich donor & suckered him into paying the $15K catering bill for our daughter's wedding. No, sireebob, there was nothing shady about the missus dropping over $250K of the donor's money in luxury stores in Manhattan. Besides, the missus returned some of the stuff after we found out we were in trouble, so the stuff was really 'just a loan"..."

What a load.

with all of the shopping and weddings going on, I'll bet McDonnell forgot to renew his IOKIYAR card.

will find some way to make sure there are absolutely no consequences for those among the rich and powerful who are accidentally brought up on charges by misguided DA's and the like.
