Just in time to replace disgraced ex-governor Blago, the press has decided to probe the increasingly hilarious story of Ted Haggard, disgraced pastor of a mega-evangelical-church in Colorado. In case you don't know, Haggard was outed as not only being gay, but also an amphetamine addict. Oh, and the guy that Haggard had his first affair with, which lasted 2+ years, was a male prostitute. Apparently, there was a second male lover. Also, the press is now writing articles in which Haggard expresses his sexuality (haven't read the stories).
This is hilarious for two reasons: 1. evangelicals tend to hate gays, especially those who are also drug addicts.
2. Crises, as always, are abound in this country, yet the sexuality of an unimportant person is newsworthy. Silly media.
A possible alternative to #2 is that the misery and come-uppings of outspoken purveyors of hate and ignorance, especially in the name of any deity, are always amusing to me.
Seriously though, how did Blago get away with his shenanigans for so long, especially since his evil-doings were so evil and pervasive and everyone knew he wheelings-and-dealings were tainted? It's not like the guy tried to hide it. Why is it only now that this guy's feet were held to the fire and he paid for his trangressions? Silly world we live in.
