Would the guy with the bow tie perhaps be Tucker Carlson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucker_Carlson#Bow_ties)? He came to talk at my campus and, while more interested in goading people into shouting matches to improve his ratings than doing anything useful, he's certainly no heir to the evangelical throne (he taped a n episode of Crossfire at my college (http://anathelen.livejournal.com/139622.html) last fall). Fred Phelps is too much of a total nutcase; most of the evengelical community, while agreeing with his complete condemnation of homosexuality, shuns him out of embaressment. He does more damage than good to the image of evangelicals.
