Why do I get the feeling this is only going to get more and more scandalous? Evangelist Ted Haggard admitted Friday that he bought methamphetamine and received a massage from a gay prostitute who claims he was paid for drug-fueled trysts by the outspoken gay marriage opponent.
Talking to reporters outside his house Friday, the married father of five denied he had sex with the man but said he bought the meth because he was curious. "I bought it for myself but never used it," he said. "I was tempted, but I never used it."

That is just pathetic.

Anyway, Haggard resigned Thursday as president of the National Association of Evangelicals and also stepped down as leader of his Colorado megachurch while the two groups investigate the allegations made by Michael Forest Jones (pictured at right), allegations Haggard intially completely denied.
But now, little bits of the "truth" are coming out. It's my hunch that it's not the whole truth - THAT will come when he feels his back is completely up against the wall. Kinda like alcoholic, molestation victim rehab resident Jim Foley, the disgraced former congressman from Florida. It's gross that Haggard, likely a big closet case, is so anti-gay marriage. Reminds me of Foley, the anti-child abuse advocate who sounds to me like a pedophile but insists that he is "a gay man."
The hypocricy of some of these high-profile Republicans just riles me. I mean, be self-loathing if you want, but get the heck off the national stage as you figure out your twisted self. Invest in therapy and please, please, stop telling people how to live their lives.
