The Resume

(March 15, 1935- )
Founder of 'Jimmy Swaggart Ministries'
Cousin of Jerry Lee Lewis

Why he might be annoying:

He raised huge sums of money in the name of God, for his personal gain.
He was caught with prostitutes, then went to his congregation crying 'I Sinned my Lord.'
His flock forgave him, within days he was again photographed with prostitutes.
Again he tried the same schtick with his congregation, and they forgave him, for his moral problems.
It is said that he has 1,000 suits all costing over $1,000. (wonder how this despicable disciple could afford them?)

Why he might not be annoying:

He proved P.T. Barnum right; a sucker is born every minute
(and most of them are probably in Swaggart's congregation).Ozzy Osbourne's 'Miracle Man' is written about him.
