Methinks Jerry Falwell Jr. has many, many problems including ones with alcohol and sexuality. The way it is playing out is out of the Trump playbook, i.e. a sickening reality show. To think that it is from an alleged evangelical university of professed moral and religious values is bizarre. That Falwell is now disputing his resignation is dry drunk behavior.

“Dry”? Rather an assumption at this point, isn’t it?

Maybe he’s leaving but his wife is staying? (If you know what I mean — and I think you do.)

Well this is out of the norm. They always have given any other deviate evangelical minister the opportunity to cry and repent. If I was Falwell, I would hang in there until they did.

Might be tough going without his buddy Cohen to pull a few strings though.

And the trolls are out in force saying it’s just a sex scandal. Look away.

Ignoring that there’s a blackmail scandal embedded in it that helped elect Trump. Look away.

That was precious. More, Please (not Moore).

Meanwhile, Falwell will test out staying in office after he has been ousted to pave the way for Trump to do the same.

From the Washington Post:

Falwell Jr. said late Monday he did not resign. A university official later said there was a holdup in finalizing negotiations, and discussions over resignation were ongoing Monday night.

I love how when he got challenged he just kept piling it on and did so with a completely calm demeanor.
