Maddow: Televangelist Infidelity Matrix. Holy rolling in the hay

In the end days, there will be whores and rumors of whores, and many of them will be your spiritual leaders, and yeah, they will cry and beg for your money to help build their empires on earth.

They will also cry for forgiveness for being freaky. It’s a long tradition in American Televangelism. Rachel Maddow and friends have done an admirable job of referencing and cross-referencing those in the high-stakes game for God, beginning with Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker to the present time. I can’t help but notice that all of these sinners, whose escapades rival the most convoluted soap opera, admit to sinning "only once or twice and briefly" one half expects "and I did not enjoy it" to follow.
