Falwell says he's 'making progress,' takes call from White House
Falwell says he's 'making progress,' takes call from White House


By the Associated Press

Published April 1, 2005

LYNCHBURG, Va. -- The Rev. Jerry Falwell, hospitalized in serious condition, said he is on the mend after a health crisis in which he stopped breathing and had to be resuscitated earlier this week.

Falwell had recovered enough by Thursday that he was able to sit in an armchair, take a call from the White House and visit with his grandchildren, officials said.

I'm making progress," the 71-year-old Moral Majority founder said in an interview with The News & Advance of Lynchburg. "I'll be in here for a few days."

Despite his optimism, Falwell's son, Jerry Falwell Jr., said a return to the Thomas Road Baptist Church pulpit this week appeared unlikely. "I just don't think it's going to happen," he told the newspaper.

1. Good for him!
I really hate kicking the ass of a dying man.

It's so ... un-Christian.

8. Of course it is. He'll never make progress.
Progress requires an open mind.

7. That pic of Moon and Falwell..................
Moon can't get half way around Falwell's fat ass. The Lord sure has been generous to Falwell in the food department. I wonder how many people wouldn't have starved to death if Falwell's caloric intake had been dispersed a little better? I smell a Doctoral Thesis here.

9. He must still be pretty sick if he's getting a house call.
Oh, my mistake, a White House call.

Cocky bastard! You'd think he'd be trying to salvage his soul, rather than lying around plotting more treason.

Edited on Fri Apr-01-05 10:46 AM by Mari333
