Holy Meth

It all started with a headline that read Reverend Resigns in Gay Sex Scandal...

You see, at first glance it looked more like "Reverend Reigns in Gay Sex Scandal," which is totally different.

I mean Ted Haggerts' gay sex, male prostitute and meth scandal is pretty big news, but I'm not sure it automatically gets him "reigning" status. After all, we still don't know all the details of Mark Folley's page scandal, and, of course, Jim McGreevey's sex scandal is still on the best seller list.

It's really a three-way race...which is ironic, because a three-way would probably put one of them in the lead.

Now if there is a race going on, Haggert does seem to be in it to win it. I mean, he didn't just stray a little from the straight and narrow, he took a running leap away from it.

Look, every preacher is human, but you'd expect them to have less grievous transgressions. You tell me an evangelist had an affair, rented a porno or tore the tags off his mattress, that's not a eye opener. But using a male prostitute and buying meth, that's someone committed to getting his freak on.

Of course, Haggert's story is that he didn't have sex with the prostitute and that he just bought meth from him because he was curious about it -- and he didn't use it. Now, if your curious about meth, couldn't you just do some reading, maybe watch SPUN, or take a look at that faces page?

Ted is a good conservative -- heck, he used to call the White House on a regular basis...he should know that conservatives don't use prostitutes to get drugs. Conservatives get drugs from special dealers known as "Doctors."

Also, if Ted did want to have an affair, he doesn't have to pay for a partner:

He should take a page from McGreevey and have the people you work for pay for it.
I mean, doesn't this guy read anything?
