Congrats, Tammy Faye, for pissing off that cesspool, and thank you for your work for HIV patients.

DURHAM, N.C. - Former televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker Messner will headline a drag bingo benefit for AIDS here next month.

The Alliance of AIDS Services-Carolina, which serves people with HIV and AIDS in Durham, Orange and Wake counties, is organizing the fund-raiser at the Durham Armory on Jan. 2.

The headliner was a source of surprise to at least one group official.

"When they told me, I said, 'Oh, this is not going to work' — far right and all that," acting executive director Jacquelyn Clymore said Friday. "I have to say it has completely changed my perception of her. She appears to be completely committed" to HIV work.

Messner and ex-husband Jim Bakker helped build the world's three largest Christian networks, only to lose everything amid scandal. Her ex-husband was convicted of fraud and served five years in federal prison.

Messner was never charged.

In a telephone interview, Messner said her AIDS work was nothing new.

"Everyone has a right to be who they are. I believe that," she said. "I think people are just people. God does not put labels on people. People put labels on people. And it's none of my business what goes on in people's bedrooms."

They're stinking up my STATE!

I'm not surprised by this at all.

I always thought Tammy Faye looked like a drag queen

Oh, for crying out loud! Another fruitcake that just won't stay gone.

Didn't care for her then; don't care for her now.

Go away Tammy Faye Bakker Mascara!

Tammy Faye was, is, and probably will always be a fruit loop.

From her escapades during the PTL years, to ditching her husband for his best friend, to never getting checked for cancer when she was practically bleeding to death.

(She ended up practically terminal and then refused conventional treatment. Who knows what is going on with her now.) Not to mention bizarroworld makeup. Let's face it, normal people don't go out looking like that.

I am not surprised at all that this very strange woman, who claims to be a Christian, is hosting a drag queen show or spending time with a porn star. The thing I can't figure out is how she pulled the wool over people's eyes for so long in the first place.

I hope it's not wishful thinking, but my impression is that Jim Bakker truly was brought to repentance by his prison experience, and he's now a humbled and sincere man. I hope it's true.

This strikes me as wrong.Actually God does "label" people and he does judge.

As for Jim I agree with you. I have much greater respect for him than Tammy Faye. Humility is a good thing. Always a sign of learning a valuable lesson in life. Only time and God's grace will tell wether he has.

This woman ought to be pushing the "wheel" along with the other inmates at that Turkish jail in the movie, 'Midnight Express'.
