In the category of "Dumbest Thing I Have Seen Lately," the immensely obese pantload of bile from San Antonio is now selling diet books on his program and no, I am not making this up.

I was indulging my masochism last night by watching his idiotic program while running on the treadmill. The first part was the usual worthless crap about how Harry Potter was causing an epidemic of demon-possession all over the civilized world. That was dumb enough, but after that's over, he launches into an infomercial where he's peddling a book called "What Would Jesus Eat?" Apparently, John the Lump knows and is concerned about our health. From looking at Hagee himself I would say his answer would be "Bucket O' Cheese Fries," but he went on and on about how Jebus ate whole-grain breads and fresh vegetables and if you just bought this book you would . . . blah, blah.

This makes Pat Robertson's "Age-Defying Shake" look good.

I just can't find the words to express how much I detest this bilious parasite.

What is up with all these televangelists pushing vitamin supplements, anyway? Even the normally mild-mannered James Robison is getting into the act.

Well I don't know about Jebus, but from the OT I can pretty much guess that his dad ate a lot of cooked goat.

Diet book written by Jebus:

Eat Me for Eternity!

That's a fantastic description of Hagee. I totally forgot about him, but then again I did move away from Texas about 6 years ago. I used to watch him and just seethe with anger. I can't believe that obese toad is actually trying to tell other people what is and isn't healthy.

I actually saw James Robison in person as a child. He preached a revival at my church. This was before he was "famous" though. He's another real winner. I seem to recall him having a fixation on the "end times".

People outside the Bible Belt don't know what they're missing.

I'd think twice before taking dietary advice from someone who looks like this:

I recommend taking no advice from this vile bastard. I saw him on a TBN telethon say* "There is no such thing as a fixed income in the kingdom of gawd. Your income depends upon your GIVING."

Translation: Want to make money fast? Send me all you have and Big Daddy will repay you many times over.

This "prosperity gospel" is one of the most sickening ideas these tele-fundies have ever come up with.

BTW, the Hagee picture doesn't do him justice. He's really much, much more obese.

* Hagee rarely simply "says" anything. He practically screams. He seems to be under the impression that bellicosity is very persuasive. Which apparently it is to anyone dim-witted enough to take him seriously.

The supplement market is huge. Hence, a ready-made cash cow for the tele-fundies. Much of what's being pushed as "supplements" are nothing more than placebo pills, since the supplement market has little FDA oversight.

So I could imagine someone like John Hagee coming along and saying, "Send $49.95 for your very own Holy Ghost blessed BustedBibleBelt Flab Slasher dietary supplement bottle! For best results, send another $49.95 to John Hagee Ministries, and God will return your weight loss efforts tenfold!"

Hucksters abound both in the weight loss industry and in religious circles. Now the worst of both have combined forces. And so many fall for it. Sometimes, what goes on in this great country of ours is just too depressing for words.
