I started reading the Politico piece, and a few paragraphs in concluded that IDGAF.
Whether it's his sex life or his using the "University" funds for real estate projects to fatten the Falwells, who's surprised?
It's a matter of degrees in life for me. Once someone hits "dick" status...like Trump, for example...can they actually become a BIGGER dick as more is revealed?
Trump's certainly trying like hell, but when it comes to Falwell, I saw this leopard's spots a long, long time ago.

Who knows to what extent his depraved actions with his wife and the "pool boy" and others goes to...Let us not forget the hypocrisy that rules religion and let us not forget Haggard of Colorado, and the countless Catholic priests. Religion is a money-making enterprise and those behind it are living the life of kings while doing things that normal people won't do.

I ALWAYS hope guys like this will go down in the same ways they try to hurt good people, they hate so many regular people, I hope whatever might be there to come out to explode like a nuke!
