"One of the misconceptions about evangelicals in the U.S. is that they're all as extreme as Swaggart, Falwell and Robertson. They're not. Most of them just want to worship at their local church. They don't give a shit about those guys on television -- they think they're clowns and that what they do cheapens everyone's religious experience. On this, we definitely agree."
"Meanwhile, did anybody hear the great news today? Jimmy Swaggart under investigation! 'Oh, Jay-sus!' One day, every one of those cock-suckers will get caught! I understand in the case of Mr. Swaggart that he claims that it was not 'multiple encounters with many prostitutes'. Apparently only one sweet young thing! And he did tell Cal Thomas of the Moral Majority that 'the sex act itself was not fully consummated.' However, he did admit to doing 'something pornographic' with the girl. Let's use our imagination, ladies and gentlemen!"
