If it is, the Falwell’s will make millions!

[Meatspace]

“My guess is, Falwell will have some evidence of extortion, and this guy will go to prison.”

Will the portion of the trial where the pool boy’s lawyer cross examines Jerry Jr. be televised?

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

The Press loves to take out Christian leaders.

People like to see a moralizer turn out to be a hypocrite.

[EEGator]

I’m 45 and I remember quite well.
I remember a skit on SNL too.
I think it was Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks...

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

I hope you are right.

That could either mean he didn’t look, but didn’t seek to know what his wife could be doing, or that he was in the room watching it all happen.

The latter is terrible while the the former can come from trusting anyone’s spouse.

[Georgia Girl 2]

OK so uphill slog to square that one with evangelism. I mean seriously folks. I’m sure God will forgive them but do you really want Jer as your spiritual leader?

[Sans-Culotte]

Granda told Reuters that the relationship involved him having sex with Becki Falwell while Jerry Falwell looked on.

"I like to watch".

[ClayinVA]

No, this one is real. Falwell brought this one on himself. There is too much evidence for even Liberty to ignore at this point. That is why they suspended him. This story has been building locally for about a year now.

I will be completely honest, when I saw those “trailer park boys” photos, the first thing I said was SWINGERS PARTY.

[Tax-chick]

If he was manipulated by a 20-year-old it doesn’t say much for his ability.

Obviously, the Falwells were needy, and the young player saw it as an opportunity.

The news is full of apparently very competent people who get into insane situations because someone exploited a weakness.

They probably thought, for a while, that they were taking advantage of him, until ... Boom.

[Gamecock]

one of the most influential figures in the American Christian conservative movement,

Doesn't influence me a bit. Not once have I asked myself What would Falwell do? But I guess now I know.

[nickcarraway]

Well, maybe, but maybe it was in them too. I’m sure there is enough blame to around.

[Tax-chick]

Yes, that’s what I was trying to say. There had to be a reason they were all drawn to one another.

[Irish Eyes]

You will believe anything

[sauropod]

Great. Just great.

Methinks Jerry Jr. needs to resign.

[Drango]

I’m not going to sit in judgement of him, but my goodness this is ugly having your dirty laundry on the front page.

[Fury]

Now being reported that Falwell has resigned as President of Liberty University.

[nickcarraway]

Falwell’s son also owns some kind of gay club.

[spacejunkie2001]

seriously? where?
