I'd like to hear from Pecker.

Should be fun watching Falwell run from the graduation ceremonies

Wait for an 'I have sinned' from Falwell - looks like the pool boy story is true

Falwell, president of Liberty University, one of the world’s largest Christian universities, said someone had come into possession of what Cohen described as racy “personal” photographs — the sort that would typically be kept “between husband and wife,” Cohen said in the taped conversation.

According to a source familiar with Cohen’s thinking, the person who possessed the photos destroyed them after Cohen intervened on the Falwells’ behalf.

SNIP

Cohen, who began a three-year prison sentence this week for federal campaign violations and lying to Congress, recounted his involvement in the matter in a recording made surreptitiously by comedian Tom Arnold on March 25. Portions of the recording — in which Cohen appeared to disavow parts of his guilty plea — were first reported April 24 by The Wall Street Journal.

I don't know what that means? Did they make sex tapes of themselves? Between a husband & wife implies there was no pool boy involved, no?
