Jerry Falwell Jr. reportedly quit as president of Liberty University.<\/p>\n

Then he said he has done nothing of the sort. He’s still there, although he’s been removed from his job as president\/chancellor.<\/p>\n

So, the son of the Christian college’s founder — Jerry Falwell Sr. — has a “job,” but he’s not doing it. He remains on the payroll.<\/p>\n

Oh, I guess I need to mention why all the tempest.<\/p>\n

The LU board relieved Falwell of his duties because of a hideous picture of him with his pants unzipped, his gut hanging out of an unbuttoned shirt and in the company of a woman Falwell said is a close family friend.<\/p>\n

Then came a hideous allegation that Falwell would watch his wife engage in sexual acts with a man with whom she was having an affair. Oh, brother!<\/p>\n

Is that how the leader of a prestigious faith-based university should behave? Of course not! However, it is kind of in keeping with the behavior of one of Falwell’s major political allies … Donald John Trump. Falwell has been an ardent supporter of Trump, who quite naturally has been silent on the trouble that has befallen this evangelical Christian leader.<\/p>\n

Well, if someone appointed me King of the World, I would order Falwell to pack up his office at Liberty, vacate the campus and look for something else to do.<\/p>\n

My trick knee is telling me this story ain’t nearly over.<\/p>\n\n
