The Telly-Evangelist

He could turn a Spring day into ash and brimstone. His wife zealously practiced adultery. She would join him at the pulpit, her blond hair glowing like a halo. She loved his money religiously. He was a bible thumping man of God, but his cable show was rocked by scandal. when a car salesman ran off with his angel, for many of us it seemed almost biblical.

Love this, Eric. So many of these types are simply charlatans, living high on the hog of poor peoples' money sent in as "tithes" for worthless trinkets and such. Well written and meaningful.
