20. The tried and true Jimmy Swaggart trick -- it never fails!

Tue Apr 8, 2014, 02:01 PM

First off, you're a seemingly devout southern politician or televangelist, big on family values. You eventually get caught doing stuff the Bible says you shouldn't, beg for God's forgiveness in public, use your family for pity purposes, persuade your constituents that it's better to vote for a "saved" Republican sinner (aka hypocrite) than any heathen Democrat, and proceed along with your political career as if nothing happened. Works every time. It almost begs the question as to why these people would even need to worry about being careful.
