700 Club host and TV evangelist Pat Robertson is under fire for misusing his Christian media empire to promote a commercial venture – Shake, Shake, Shake your booty .
This isn’t the first time Robertson has gotten in trouble:
In 1990, CBN spun off its family-friendly TV channel after it became so large and lucrative that it risked the wrath of the IRS, which prohibits businesses from becoming bigger than their non profit parents.
In 1997, pilots for Robertson’s tax-exempt humanitarian organization said its planes were used almost exclusively for the evangelist’s African diamond mining operation, sparking an investigation by state charity regulators.
Expect Robertson to try and settle out of court.
