Frederick J. Eikerenkoetter II, more popularly known as “Reverend Ike,” has met his maker. The 74-year old prosperity evangelist and huckster passed on to his greater reward on July 29.
“Don’t wait for your pie in the sky, by and by,” he often told his followers. “Say I want my pie right now – and I want it with ice cream on top!” Then he would exhort them to send love offerings directly to his church.
“It’s bwilliant,” Barney Frank said. “All we need to do is convince people that their lives will be enriched in the future if they just send all their money to Washington, DC today.”
“Genius,” agreed John Kerry. “Love offerings sounds much more benign than taxes.”
“I love it,” said the President. “Then we’ll add a sur-offering to stick it to them even harder.”
“But what about the separation of church and state,” Nancy Pelosi asked.
“Please, Nancy,” Harry Reid demanded. “Show some respect for the dead.”
