Like he did back in the day in collaboration with Jerry Falwell Sr. to go after Jim Bakker.

Longstanding differences between television evangelists Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Bakker, the type of conflicts in evangelistic circles normally kept out of public view, erupted Tuesday into internecine warfare involving many of Americas brand-name preachers.
Swaggart said Tuesday that he had forewarned his denomination against being dragged through the mud by Bakkers scandal-touched PTL ministries, but he denied a charge that he was planning a takeover of the $172-million evangelistic empire Bakker relinquished to the Rev. Jerry Falwell last week.
Swaggert, a classic Pentecostal preacher with strict views of personal sanctity and doctrine, said he was hoping to minister to Bakker, who last Thursday confessed to a sexual encounter in 1980 and a payoff to keep the incident quiet.
The notion of Swaggert "ministering" to Jim Bakker just raises all kinds of horrifying images.
Irony is totally dead and the fundy Jebus says movement just keeps on sleazing and oozing.
