You know, just thinking outside the box, here, ratings-wise, Phelps could have an excellent second career as host of a game on the David Letterman show:
Letterman: Thanks Paul. What a Top 10 list, eh? So let’s keep this gravy train moving and move on to our next bit, right? (Cue spooky rock music, logo fades in)
“Fred Phelps’ Heaven? Or HELL!”
Phelps comes out on stage
Letterman: OK, Fred, you know how the game goes, we give you a list of persons, places and things, and you tell us which way the guy up above’s going to send them. So here we go. Candidate #1 . . . Ann Landers
Fred: “An impenitent, Christ-rejecting, ungodly sinner whose words were hard speeches blaspheming God. . . . . HELL!”
Letterman: OK, a little over-the-top, but I see your point. How about Cher?
Fred: “A dyke-pimp because her daughter Chastity became gay when her absentee mom left her in the care of an older lesbian . . . HELL!”
Letterman: All right, here’s a toughie, how about Canada? Now, I’m guessing heaven here, right Fred?
Fred: “A sodomite police state, where Gospel preachers are prosecuted and fined and imprisoned for preaching that homosexuals are vile, Hell-bound sinners. . . . HELL!”
Letterman: Thank you, Fred, for coming on the show tonight and playing . . . (cue spooky rock music from Paul and the boys) . . . “Fred Phelps’ Heaven? Or HELL!”
