We admit, the details surrounding Tammy Faye Bakker’s death aren’t the most believable. CNN’s Larry King conducts the final interview with a cancer-ridden former televangelist and cultural icon. Hours later, said cancer-ridden former televangelist and cultural icon dies. Though plausible, this gossip about gay ally Bakker makes us doubt humanity’s value:
The tragic death of Tammy Faye Bakker Messner is shrouded in mystery – leading experts to suspect the spunky televangelist took her own life to end her suffering and the prolonged agony of her family. Tammy Faye died just hours after a dramatic farewell appearance on Larry King Live, and some people believe she orchestrated her own death with a drug overdose.
We agree with our cousin, Mollygood, who hopes Bakker did commit suicide, because her last months were pain filled and, despite her signature good cheer, probably miserable. Although, we wonder whether she could reconcile her religion with a suicide’s allegedly smoldering afterlife…
