Has anyone seen Larry Flynt's statement on Falwell's death? It was amazingly classy and kind:
The Reverend Jerry Falwell and I were arch enemies for fifteen years. We became involved in a lawsuit concerning First Amendment rights and Hustler magazine. Without question, this was my most important battle – the l988 Hustler Magazine, Inc., v. Jerry Falwell case, where after millions of dollars and much deliberation, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled in my favor.
My mother always told me that no matter how much you dislike a person, when you meet them face to face you will find characteristics about them that you like. Jerry Falwell was a perfect example of that. I hated everything he stood for, but after meeting him in person, years after the trial, Jerry Falwell and I became good friends. He would visit me in California and we would debate together on college campuses. I always appreciated his sincerity even though I knew what he was selling and he knew what I was selling.
The most important result of our relationship was the landmark decision from the Supreme Court that made parody protected speech, and the fact that much of what we see on television and hear on the radio today is a direct result of my having won that now famous case which Falwell played such an important role in.
Well, Mister Falwell will make for a well preserved corpse. Because even though fly larvae feast on corpses and excrement, I believe that we have finally found the substance that will actually gag a maggot.

I heard this excellent news at work today. It made the day seem a little brighter.
Did you see this article on Slate?
"Nonsense. He was a bigot, a reactionary, a liar, and a fool. Herewith, a Falwell sampler."
I think Mr. Ten S summed it up nicely, "He's the guy who put the 'K' in Kristian."
That article was a fitting eulogy Bella Rossa. Thanks.
I have Pat Robertson in the death pool next.
Hope he took some sunscreen!
God Bless!
I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with a lot of pleasure.

Burn Jerry Burn.
Farewell Falwell.
All's well that ends Falwell.
Falwell will fall far.

judging from the photo, if he were alive today, he'd also be lustily digging into a jumbo bag of marshmallows.....
imagine trying to toast marshmallows in hell ("damn, burnt another one!!!")
