Infamous ex-convict Jim Bakker went on his scamvangelist program today to inform the world that it has been witches all along who have been responsible for televangelists ending up behind bars for their various indiscretions. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Bakker, he and his wife Tammy Faye Bakker hosted a televangelist program called The PTL Club back in the ‘80s. Although they claimed that were doing the Lord’s work, in actuality they were shamelessly lining their pockets with contributions that sometimes topped a million dollars a week. As the Bakkers’ money scam inevitably unraveled, allegations of rape made by a woman named Jessica Hahn brought the seedy into the realm of the salacious. It was a huge scandal that grabbed the nation’s attention and wouldn’t let go.
