Drugs or Gay sex, which one?
Posted by goose1 at November 3, 2006 08:22 AMI'd comment but I blew my wad on yesterday's thread!
Posted by Seven of Six at November 3, 2006 08:23 AMI'm hoping this scandal will seriously tamp down the power of christianists--at least in the short run--just as, once upon a time, the discovery of Jim Baker's sins put a crimp in their agenda.
In the very red state where I live, when video poker was outlawed, cultists set up shop in the empty concrete-block poker parlors lining the highway into town.
There, you will find con artists preaching to their flock--many of whom are seriously disturbed or substance abusers or both. Part of this situation is due to the breakdown in the mental health system in this country.
There's no where for these people to go for no-cost/low-cost counseling, and so in their desperate search for a new ground of being to replace the old, they fall for the shysters.
To paraphrase a southern poet: All systems tower then collapse.

Off to rehab with 'im!
Posted by snark at November 3, 2006 08:29 AMWhich part have they admitted to? The crank-shooting or the cocksucking?
Posted by God Of War at November 3, 2006 08:30 AMsnark, Pastor Ted's middle name is 'Art'.
Posted by Seven of Six at November 3, 2006 08:34 AMWell there you are!
Posted by snark at November 3, 2006 08:36 AMRev. Ted Haggard and the Republican Party -- they both suck!
Posted by redstater at November 3, 2006 08:40 AMWatched the news on "The Today Show", they showed a big smiling Ted and 'W' in a picture together.
Wish we could get that for some proper circulation!
Heavy meth users will have mottled teeth.

Posted by iamcoyote at November 3, 2006 08:55 AMHere's Haggard thanking the Lord for meth. Another Americablog special.

Seven of Six, don't buy the smiles for a minute. Rev. Ted and W are secretly locked in a no-hold-barred battle for the favors and affections of JimmyJeff!
The crumbling a millions of weird little vacant smiles all over the nation....
errr.. maybe not

Posted by God Of War at November 3, 2006 09:24 AMhe was going for gay abstinence when he just got too excited.
remember, this could be jeff guckert's man in colorado, you know? part of the gay conspiracy trying to bring downfall to their lord and leader.
and let's go back to exactly who Jeff Guckert or Gannon or whaterver; was spending the night with at the white house? don't we know who this guy was boinking?
Failed lie detector test, but with an asterisk.
Posted by snark at November 3, 2006 11:17 AMAnd Haggard now, after denying he ever met Jones, admits that he quote "bought some meth" from Jones and contacted him for "a massage".
OK, so once it's obvious that you've lied about having ever met the gay prostitute drug dealer and everyone is gonna know it soon enough the next step is to craft a reasonably unsordid story to explain why you lied in the first place.
"I got a massage and bought some meth that I never used."
End of story?
Posted by snark at November 3, 2006 11:47 AMHowever, Kresnik said he doubted the accuracy of the test he administered because of the recent stress on Jones and his inability to eat or sleep, according to KHOW producer Greg Hollenback.
If your using meth, your not sleeping or eating!
Friends have told me so.
Friends have told me so.
Yeaaaaah.
Ok.
Ummm, tell your....friends...'thanks'.

Posted by workingclassannie at November 3, 2006 01:29 PMA rich evangelical pastor of a huge church calls a guy from an ad in a Gay publication called rent.boy for a massage only? He buys methamphetamine from the guy, but throws it away? He then makes fouther contact for more?
"Hi Mike, this is Art. Hey, I was just calling to see if we could get any more. Either $100 or $200 supply. And I could pick it up really anytime I could get it tomorrow or we could wait till next week sometime and so I also wanted to get your address. I could send you some money for inventory but that’s probably not working, so if you have it then go ahead and get what you can and I may buzz up there later today, but I doubt your schedule would allow that unless you have some in the house. Okay, I’ll check in with you later. Thanks a lot, bye."
At least Mark Foley knew when the jig was up and had an escape plan.
Posted by Mickey at November 3, 2006 01:48 PMI think Pastor Teddy's sex and drug recreational therapist flunked PART of the lie detector test because he didn't want to end up in the slammer for selling the drugs directly.
Think he would be popular in the prison shower?
Posted by TIKI AL at November 3, 2006 01:53 PMSo have the good reverend's offices been raided yet?
Posted by snark at November 3, 2006 02:15 PMHey, I was just calling to see if we could get any more.
Anybody catch that? Rev Ted says he bought meth once and threw it out....why would he be calling for "more?" I mean, because, a man of the cloth, he would never lie, right? Oh, that's right, he already did when he said he didn't know his accuser. Please pass the popcorn because this one is getting good!
