My Name Is Swaggart, I Am an Asshole . . .

Legendary televangelist Jimmy Swaggart is at it again. His most recent moment was this choice quote from his TV show:

"I've never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry. . . . And I'm going to be blunt and plain: If one ever looks at me like that, I'm going to kill him and tell God he died."
Putting to one side, for a moment, the prospect of a gay man hitting on Lonesome Cowboy Jim (a very desperate gay man, I expect), leave it to Swaggart to respond not just with violence, but with killing. Of course we all knew that this hypothetical gay man would have no chance with Jimbo, unless he liked to dress up an 1865 Louisiana-style prostitute.
