Pat Robertson dies

[Bob Jersey]

93. Might be better known for founding the political-activist Christian Coalition and a failed run for the 1988 Republican Presidential nomination than as a Baptist minister and pioneering televangelist... his father, Absalom, was a staunch conservative in Congress for Virginia, defending the views they shared at the time, like segregation and opposition to the New Deal...

[Tom Wolper]

He was best known for being a loon and a grifter and being the only one of his peers who stayed out of jail.

What a surprise he had in store when he passed through the veil, expecting to meet St. Peter, and was greeted by Queen Karma instead.

Along with the snark, I would be wondering if the old man finally going to his reward (not the Good Place) is going to get Disney to try once again to get "The 700 Club" off of Freeform.  Over the years, the pre-show disclaimers have gone from the simple "the following is a paid program by CBN" to "opinions expressed on the following CBN program are NOT those of ABC Family/Freeform or the Walt Disney Company" to "we have to air this, so watch Freeform shows on demand, on the Freeform app or on Hulu and we'll be back in an hour/90 minutes" or variations thereof.  Seems that Disney some years ago offered CBN $42M to buy out the contract, but Robertson put his foot down and said no.
