Dear Marion Pat Robertson,
This is exactly why youre my 2nd Favorite Televangelist of All Time!
I was shocked when the good citizens of Dover, Pennsylvania kicked out all eight school board members just because they wanted to teach the science of intelligent design. But then you said what was on the mind of every patriot in America! Heres what you said:
"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God. You just rejected him from your city. God is tolerant and loving, but we can't keep sticking our finger in his eye forever. If they have future problems in Dover, I recommend they call on Charles Darwin. Maybe he can help them.
This is an outrage! Theres somebody trying to horn in on your act! Guess who?
Thats right! Bill OReilly! Did you hear what he said?
"Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you're not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead. And if al-Qaida comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead!"
Dont get mad. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! Besides, if you get over your petty jealousy and look at the big picture, youll see that God has already smote New Orleans. If God smites Dover and al-Qaida smites San Francisco, well be rid of the three most heathen cities in the country, and America will finally have freedom of religion!
By the way, whats your favorite baseball stadium? Mine is Enron Field. I want my ballpark to have a good American name like Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia or Coors Field in Denver or Enron Field in Texas! I think OReilly missed the boat when he told al-Qaida to blow up the Coit Tower. Maybe you could one-up him and ask God to smite Candlestick Park. Its wrong to have a ball park named after a candlestick! When you see a candlestick, what do you think of? Its so Castro District!
Anyway, I bet youre wondering, If Im Carls second favorite televangelist, whos his first?
No, its not Bill OReilly. Give up?
Its Jimmy Swaggart! Hes Number One! Youre like Avis--you keep trying harder. But even when you said we should assassinate Hugo Chavez, even when God told you Our President was going to win in a blowout, even when you prayed for three of the Supreme Court justices to resign or die, you still couldnt top brother Jimmy Swaggart when he said:
If (a gay man) ever looks at me like that, I'm going to kill him and tell God he died."
Some people just have a flare for words. Maybe its genetics. How can you compete with a guy whose cousin is Jerry Lee Lewis?
By the way, is your cousin Jim Bakker? I always get you and him mixed up. Or maybe your wifes cousin is Tammy Faye Bakker? I think I see a resemblance but its hard to tell with all that make-up. Maybe if you put a whole bunch of make-up on your wife, then wed know for sure.
Anyway, keep up the fight! Lets put religion back where it belongs--in the science class!
Sincerely,
Carl Estrada
P.S. Im sending you another quarter. I think my 700 Club membership has lapsed.
