Is Falwell’s golden parachute going to protect him in hell?

If you’ve ever heard him interviewed you’ll marvel at the idea that he’s employable in any field.

That’s great, bleed Liberty University dry and hopefully they will have to declare bankruptcy. Their fundraisers are going to have fun explaining where the donations are going, other than Falwell’s pockets. That $10.5 million won’t last Falwell long, the next round of pool boys are going to be even more expensive.

It’s a good deal for Liberty. It’s cheaper to buy him out than to pay for pool boys and Lear jets for the next decade.

Now Liberty can go back to sucking the fun out of the zombie student body as is its core mission.

For Trump’s TV movie, Barr is the pool boy and McTurtle is Bekki.

I got hooted off another comment board when I said this last night, but isn’t there a character/ conduct unbecoming clause in most employment contracts? How would his contract not be at risk??

Sure, they’re both evil, but Liberty U. should sue Falwell for the damage he caused to the school’s reputation. Might not have to enrich him further after all.

Of course, he’s got the defense that they’ve known about a lot of this shit for years, and didn’t do anything about it. But seeing that aspect of it exposed would be half the fun.

I wondered that too. Every contract I’ve ever signed had a clause like that.
But then, maybe he wrote the contract because it’s his daddy’s school…
Maybe he had a clause that said “I’m not here to be a preacher…” :rofl:

So, a school and its administration, which has spent its entire existence pointing its accusatory moral finger at gays, women, Democrats, and every other group it hates, has no “morals clause” in its contract with employees? Why should Falwell get a fucking penny? This whole thing makes them a laughingstock - although we know they were a laughingstock already, a scandal like this just proves it to the rest of the world, and why would parents who want to send their children to a university with a “moral” atmosphere (you know, fucking morons who don’t realize a degree from Liberty is about as worthy as a degree from Trump University) even think about this hellhole of sin and depravation? Who knows what the hell else is going on with the rest of the staff?!

And I read somewhere else that part of the severance was Jerry, Jr. agreed not to work for another university. Yeah, Jerry, I am sure other religious schools are just falling over each other to hire your scabrous ass!

If Jesus was present, Falwell the money changer, would have been driven from the temple.

Honest to GOD…really. The man lies, bilks, sneaks and then runs out the door with ‘free at last’ and $10.5 million…and the evangelicals blame the DEMOCRATS for their reputations. GOt it.

Yep. They more than likely added to the $10.5 a couple of mill just to get him to actually state that he had resigned. Holding them by the balls being the only reason why he said he had not quit, and they caved as expected.

How positively Trumpian…

That clause is mute for the rich and “influential”. Usually put their as a sop for the poors so that the board can say see we take our responsibility seriously.
