Tammy Faye: Not in Pain Anymore
Like one commenter put it here: you’re not in pain anymore Tammy Faye.
All the world knows I guess, what will all the news in every U.S. print and broadcast media.
Phil Mushnick in his NY Post article, tells those who do not know,who Tammy Faye is:
If you didn’t know who - or what - Tammy Faye Bakker was until you read her obituaries, last week, you might have been led to believe that she was an agent of the Lord, a spiritual leader, a great messenger carrying a greater message, a devout believer tragically done-in by a bad-luck marriage.
But you wouldn’t have quite learned what she really was - and meant - to most of America over several consecutive years. She was, first and foremost, a great TV character of the 1980s, a cartoon-ish figure who played an evangelical preacher’s wife on TV.
To that end, her theological connection with mainstream America, during her TV prime, was more comical than ecumenical. If Tammy Faye is to be recalled as an American spiritualist, Don Knotts should be recalled as the deputy sheriff of Mayberry, Art Carney as a New York City sewer worker and Bob Denver as first mate on a leisure craft that specializes in three-hour tours.
Tammy Faye Bakker, later Tammy Faye Messner, was an unforgettable TV character.
Well, whatever she is or was…may she rest in Peace.
