12. That's what I'm thinking happened also.

Not only is he 94, but Billy Graham has Parkinson's Disease. The medication regimen for it can be brutal, causing fatigue, lots of sleep, and hallucinations.

My bet is that Franklin et al cooked up this endorsement, and to make themselves feel better, asked the elder Graham to approve by wiggling (pill-rolling) his hand or fingers (something he probably couldn't stop).
