It seems that Jim Bakker thinks he has the most awesome superpower of electing presidents, and that’s why he ended up in prison. Yep. Nothing at all to do with the fraud and tax evasion. Besides, back in the day, people like Tammy Fay better than you, Jim.
“The church elected Ronald Reagan,” Bakker said. “And one of the reasons—I have been told by so many people in high places—one of the main reasons they put me in prison is they thought I was going to get with Pat Robertson and endorse Pat Robertson for president. They said, ‘Jim Bakker elects presidents, we must destroy him.’”
I would happily eat one of my hats with a tasty sauce if one person on this planet besides Jim himself had ever said “Jim Bakker elects presidents, we must destroy him.” As for Pat Robertson’s “run”, I was there for that one. He didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell. You were arrested, convicted, and sent to prison because you’re a greedy asshole of a criminal, Jim, and not much has changed. The egos on these lunatic christians, unbelievable. Nothing but a raw craving for power.

Jim Bakker lightens wallets!
Caine says
Yes, that’s one magic trick he has a lock on!
Marcus Ranum says
Why do “conservatives” complain about socialists wanting a hand-out, when there’s christians like Bakker?

There are four people at that desk.
Why do they need seven mugs?
Lofty says
Chigau, the mug logos probably mean something as they are all aligned to the camera.
jazzlet says
I thought they were probably selling the mugs …
chigau (違う) says
What is that logo?
I’m on an iPad mini and it is *very* small and looks rather satanic.
jazzlet says
It’s not clear enough to say on a laptop.
Lofty says
Possibly “PTL”

Ha!

Shameless self promotion.
jazzlet says
Yuck, But good eyes.
Lofty says
Nah, 17″ laptop screen, and lotsa zoom. A veteran laptop but still going.
