Score One for The Grahamdaddy

in Hits & Misses by
“Remember this, my brothers & sisters:
Jesus loves you all… unless you’re Jewish.
Jews are bad, Mmmkay?”

William Franklin “Billy” Graham
Evangelist, Baptist, Hypocrite.
November 7, 1918 – February 21, 2018.
Aged 99 years.

Most recognized for: With one foot on the pulpit and the other entrenched in the sewer of politics, Billy was equal parts fire & brimstone preacher and bible-based lobbyist. Called “The Pastor to the Presidents,” “America’s Pastor,” & even “The Great Legitimator,” his blessing lent credibility to even the most pointless of White House crusades… like LBJ’s War on Poverty. His message was one of constant contradiction… openly preaching spiritual inclusivity after referring to Judaism as “The Synagogue of Satan,” promoting equality while stating the role of a homemaker was the only path to “real womanhood,” and endorsing Mitt Romney for president while his website listed Mormonism as “a cult.” At last, his runaway train of bullsh!t has reached its terminus at the ripe old age of 99… which opens the door for a fresh face in next year’s Lucky 13.
