[size=14pt]S.I. PRIEST USED CHURCH MONEY FOR PLASTIC SURGERIES[/size]
By JAMIE SCHRAM

A Staten Island pastor was busted for breaking the Eighth Commandment -- thou shalt not steal -- after using church money to finance his plastic surgery and botox injections.

Authorities said the Rev. William Blasingame, 66, fell prey to one of the seven deadly sins -- vanity -- when he stole nearly $85,000 from his Episcopalian congregation to finance his obsessive quest to turn back the clock.

Blasingame, who resigned from St. Paul's Memorial Episcopal Church, was charged with second-degree grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property after an investigation revealed the pastor was skimming from donations, officials said.

The Episcopal priest was collared by the Staten Island DA's detective squad after suspicious church elders began double-checking church finances.

Officials said Blasingame also used the money -- from a church upkeep and maintenance fund, and a parishioner emergency account -- to pay for club memberships, car insurance and fancy clothes.

He was arraigned Friday and released on his own recognizance

He is only emulating his contemporaries in Nigeria, after all someone could explain away his vanity by pointing out that his cosmetic improvement would attract more people to christ a-la-the contraptions people are coming up with to explain away the RCCG jet debacle.

He should be hung to dry!
