TV preacher Jimmy Swaggart, 90, has cardiac arrest at his home (has died on July 1, 2025)

Hence the attack. It’s trying to escape.

TIL Jimmy Swaggart does, notwithstanding life evidence to the contrary, have a heart.

That depends on the definition you’re using. He does, in fact, possess a fleshy blood pump.

Well, if you believe utter loons, the heart is not a pump.*

*yes, they walk among us.

He has died.

Cardiac arrested, and the sentence was death.

I can now update my earlier post.

They say you should speak only good about the dead.

He’s dead. Good.

I know almost nothing about the man, but his last name seems designed by a novelist to use in sleazy pastor type character, practically a mix of “swagger” (or even “swag”) and “braggart”.

Oh he had swagger all right back in the ¿Golden? Age of US Televangelists in the late 70s thru 80s.

There was a comic strip at the time that referred to him as Jimmy Swagger, and another scandal-plagued couple as Jim and Tammy Faye Bankroll.

Before the scandal, I was in a thrift store and ran into someone I knew, who was looking through the vinyl records. He picked up an old Jimmy Swaggart album and said, “I wonder what it says if you play it backwards.”

It makes more sense, of course.
