UPDATE: Jerry, Jerry, Jerry UPDATE AGAIN!
From the I-couldn’t-have-said-it-better-myself department, our friend Kary comments on the Jerry Falwell … uh, … situation.
So he gets caught in a scandal and fired, and it was his wife’s fault (she’s like the Eve character I guess) for having an affair with the pool boy (he’s the devil character I suppose, complete with snake) and poor innocent Jerry falls into a depression which led him to unzip his trousers, grab a couple cocktails, throw wild parties on his yacht and take indiscreet photos of himself pawing girls half his age.
Oh, and invest 1.8 million in real estate with the pool boy. Specifically, gay youth hostels..Commandment 11: When in disgrace, thou shalt throw thine wife beneath the bus.
Great judge of character, this Falwell guy.
Now we have the story they were trying to get ahead of. Giancarlo Granda is talking.
In a claim likely to intensify the controversy surrounding one of the most influential figures in the American Christian conservative movement, a business partner of Jerry Falwell Jr has come forward to say he had a years-long sexual relationship involving Falwell’s wife and the evangelical leader.
Please tell me there’s not more. I didn’t even even want to know this much.
For some unknown reason, none of this comes as any kind of surprise.
1I certainly understand Falwell’s wife not wanting to touch him.
2Did Mrs. Falwell admit this or make a statement from under the bus where he threw her???
3Considering whom he hangs around with, none of this list is any surprise at all.
My little ol’ Okie Mama used to say: “Preachers kids and the Sheriff”s son” always get away with everything. I obviously didn’t fit into either of those classes, because I never got away with anything!!

Oops!!!
5I never realized how lucrative the pool boy business was. The tips are generous, and the $1.8 million investment opportunities, after proving to the homeowner you can deftly scoop leaves and other debris out of the water with a long handled net, those investment proposals with customers are remarkable.
I guess the net and pickup truck with the magnetic Pool Boy sign are better collateral than one would think.
6These boys make a perfect couple. Fake religious conservatives, like many are. Their shit eating grins make me nauseous.
Sure loved the recording of Judge Trump Barry. Mark Meadows calls it just another attack on Trumpf. Gee, wonder why people attack the moron.
7Where did the rest of the cash come from re: payment for the gay hostel? It was wayyyy more than the 1.8 mil the Falwells kicked in.
8I looked up a pic of the pool boy…not bad! Too young for me but not a bad piece of horse flesh.
Also, Falwell said something about the affair was only between the Mrs and the pool tot….. what does that mean?
The story isn’t just that Jerry Falwell Jr’s wife had sex with someone other than him while Jerry watched, it’s that the guy she was having sex with had photos of these sessions and somehow Michael Cohen came into possession of the photos. Then wallah, as if by magic, Falwell miraculously, and more than a bit unexpectedly endorses Donald Trump.
9Frankly, comparing the pool boy and the slimy husband, who could blame her?
10The twitter land is saying Jerry has resigned.

11Falwell Jr. has resigned. Looks like there is a God after all.
12They do these things with panache in Brazil:
A gospel-singing Brazilian congresswoman has been accused of masterminding the “barbaric” murder of her preacher husband after at least six failed or aborted attempts to kill him with poison or in staged robberies.

13Michael “The fixer” Cohen said he got those troublesome pictures back from said pool boy. No wonder why he supported Trump.
Kinky sex and blackmail.
Trump family values.
The pool boy said that Jerry used to watch his wife committing adultery/ having sex from the corner of the room.
GOD can’t approve of that, right?
14Mrs. has fatal attraction to pool boy, Jerry Jr. blames her for his woes. Very Christian. Update: he watched. Very, very Christian.
15Who wants to try to persuade me that Jerry didn’t join in to sample some of that sweet sweet shore dinner?
16I’ve now heard that he denies “resigning,” AND has been asked at the last minute to speak at the convention!!
17Treehugger@17, Please God let it be so!
18I hope Michael Cohen’s pictures of jr Falwell come out just before he speaks, enough before so he has to lie in front of all of the viewers (which won’t include me). This is the face of the repugnantican party.
