R.I.P. Tammy Faye - Page 2

I didn't see that she died. I saw part of her interview with Larry King, and my only thought was that it would be so awful to see a loved one go out like that.

She was a nut, but that chick had spunk fo sho!

the PTL club (affectionately known as the pass the loot club) bilked millions of dollars from the people who could least afford to give it, the money was grossly mismanaged and eventually jim baker went to jail over it.

its ironic Doug Marlette also died this week, he was a political cartoonist in my home town and would regularly lampoon tammy faye and the ptl club.

To be fair, Tammy was never found to be involved in most of that...she was a little oblivious to the whole thing...and I'm glad she's at least in peace now.
