Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, whose ministry was toppled by prostitution scandals, dies at 90

Jimmy Swaggart, the televangelist whose multimillion-dollar ministry was crippled by his encounters with prostitutes, has died. He was 90.

Could have lived a better life. Sorry to his family for their loss.
 
Jimmy Lee Swaggart. Most interesting thing about him, after his ability to cry on cue, was he was Jerry Lee Lewis's cousin. They grew up together and learned to play piano on the same piano.
 
He was just a guy who decided to use Jesus' name to become rich.
 
Praying for the dead is too little, too late...

I once heard Jerry Lee Lewis wrote this song about Swaggart's propensity to satisfy his sexual needs/desires via seeking out "ladies of the evening".

And he was a damn good piano player, maybe better than his cousin, who I detest for his racially charged comments about Leon Russell:

"Well ole Leon, he was alright till he married that n****r."

 
Now he doesn't even know he was living a lie. He did before, but not now. Just dead.

And now Jimmy Lee is the one who will be dealing with great balls of fire (if there's any justice).
 
Dana Carvey's Church Lady bit with Jimmy Swaggart was one of the best SNL skits.
