Tammy Faye Messner dies at 65

Just found out about this in a roundabout way. Turned on the TV Guide channel looking for a movie to watch (I didn’t find one), and I noticed on the top half of the screen they were showing an episode of “The Surreal Life” where Tammy Faye costarred with Sally Jessy Raphael (my God, how she’s aged, and she still reminds me of my aunt Esther, right down to the voice), Ron Jeremy (arguably the grossest, ugliest male porn star who’s ever lived), Erik Estrada (geez, he used to be so hot… what happened?), the Vanilla Ice dude (Rob whatever-his-name-is… Damn, that sexy fucker can ravage my gay ass anytime!), and a couple others… I couldn’t remember for sure what Tammy Faye’s last name was these days, so I Googled her and these news reports of her death popped up.

In spite of some of the things she’s done, and in spite of the fact that I thought she was weird and rather tacky and kept really strange company for an evangelical Christian, in recent years I couldn’t help liking her… and I found myself sad that she’d been through so much in life.

I hope she’s now in a better place.
