Beres = Bakker+Swaggart Déja Vu?

Once again, we see the political and evengelical right imploding before our eyes, and it only took a mere thirty years for one and twenty for the other. In the seventies, this nation was changed forever by Watergate. Ten years later, starting in 1987, came the televangelism scandals of Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, Oral Roberts, and others, bringing to life the fictional Elmer Gantry. Today, we have Florida, Ohio, Rove, Libby, Brown, Miers, Robertson, Bennett, Dobson...you get the picture. Now, with the latest revelation that Louis Beres, the chairman of the Christian Coalition of Oregon, is being investigated on charges of child molestation, we see all the threads laid bare and Newton's First Law of Motion in effect.
