Reply to "Tammy Faye"

I seem to recall that she was pretty doped up during a lot of the PTL years; Jim and "the boys" had doctors prescribing pills for her that she never needed for many years. Just look at some of the old footage of her on that show and you'll see moments of sheer incomprehensible rambling coming from her. Not that that excuses her for knowingly scamming parishioners, but I do think that there was a break from reality for her during the years leading up to the Jessica Hahn scandal.

Several years ago, she was part of a charity event at Webster Hall with Laura Branigan (R.I.P.), who I was working with at the time. It was so much fun. She always stayed right on message regarding love and compassion, faith and forgiveness, and laughter (at oneself, mostly). I told her that my mom loved her and it was actually her birthday. Tammy made me call her right then and there so she could tell my mom that she loved her, too. She rocks in my good book.
