TED HAGGARD: HE "BLEW IT" IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE
Man, sometimes you just marvel and say WTF at the double-lives that these Theocons in the Republican Party are living.
Ted Haggard, maybe you've seen the released transcripts of his calls for methamphetamine from the man with whom he had monthly gay trysts during the past three years.
Who the hell is Ted Haggard?
My guess is that this sorta knocks John Kerry off of the headlines. And that it happens just in time for the 72 hour Republican GOTV program that centers around getting evangelicals to volunteer to leaflet super-church parking lots is serendipity, or karma, in action.
Update [2006-11-3 8:20:54 by Jerome Armstrong]:This is so bizarre. There's a video from Haddard last night in front of his home, where he makes a point of calling out the Republicans for their fake outrage towards John Kerry-- while he aligns with him "in process". And the video below, from Jesus Camp, is a classic (via AmericaBlog, the blog to follow this story):I remember when I first saw Ted Haggard. I was at home with my parents and we were watching the Sunday morning news, a tradition in my household. They were debating something to do with evolution, or abortion or gay marriage or one of those nonsensical things that the Christian Taliban gets all hot and bothered about.
In one of those windows (you know the ones where they have the different window panels with a talking-head in each one) was Ted Haggard. I looked at him and my Gaydar immediately went off. I said, "That guy is gay." To my amazement (not surprise) he was one of the Christian Taliban's talking heads.... even though I thought he was Fire Island FLAMING
Well check this out:
A Denver male hustler claims to have had a pay-for-play relationship for several years with evangelist Ted Haggard - one of the leaders of the move to ban same-sex marriage in Colorado.
