And Mrs.Ted says it’s for real this time (no, really for real!):
Ted Haggard’s wife is standing by her man, no matter how many times he may have had homosexual affairs.
Gayle Haggard appeared on the “Today” show on Wednesday to talk about her new book, “Why I Stayed: The Choices I Made In My Darkest Hour,” and declared that her one-time Evangelical superstar husband was “cured” of his homosexual compulsions.
And you all know what comes next…

unrepentant old hippie 
He’s still a faggot with heterosexual tendencies. A hopeless case if I ever saw one.
Bruce – I always thought he would eventually come out for real, once he realized that all the ex-gay stuff is a scam. But it’s been over 3 years and he’s still at it. I guess he’s still angling to get back into the preacher business, and figures this is the only way to do it. Pretty sad. (Pretty destructive, too — see Uganda and the influence of proponents of “ex-gay” programs.)
I always thought he would come out too in some hope that he might be be an honest man. But this is the power of self-denial, a very potent force that drives people to condemn others just like them only because they can’t deal with themselves.
Uganda right now is a textbook example, a poor, undereducated and tired populace being taken advantage of by unscrupulous bastards with serious personal problems who can do nothing better than prey on the weak.
Of course she knows that she will have to be tested for HIV every 6 months for 5 years. Good girl!
Perhaps ministry is the only thing he knows to do.
I’ve always noticed that many evangelists do not
publish anything about their childhood or educational
attainments.
How Haggard came to ministry and progressed through
the hierarchy to have his own church are facts
shielded from us.
Perhaps he has no other skill set; just like
Stephen Harper who, also, has not had a real job.
good ol’ Ted, he must have worked extra hard at unsucking all that sinful cock.
Torontonian – Ted Haggard is an insurance salesman now, but I doubt that brings in the kind of money he’s used to making at his mega-church in Colorado… especially since the economy collapsed.
Stephen Harper is kind of a career bureaucrat, isn’t he. But he worked for the National Citizens Coalition for awhile, so I guess that’s the private sector.
psa – 😆 Yes, but it’s only a matter of time until the winds of change start blowing in the other direction…
Bruce, where’s your evidence he has heterosexual tendancies?
(I just don’t want to see poor JJ sued for libel. 😉 )
Good morrow, all!
RB: Ted Haggard hates gays. He preaches that his all-powerful, all-seeing, all-knowing and all-loving God also hates gays. He makes his wife endure scandal and shame. He claims that being gay is a “curable” condition, like the heartbreak of psoriasis. He accepts no responsibility for his behavior, and he is attempting to avoid the consequences thereof.
Can’t get much more hetero than that. – CTZen

National Citizens’ Coalition is hardly the private sector.
It’s more like Oxfam, PeTA, Amnesty International,
United Way.
Harper’s working for the NCC was more like a sinecure
rather than anything competitive in the workplace like
sales, or performance related like production. Of course,
he’d have to go out and stir up groups of Rotarians and
Kiwanians or regional PC or Creditiste rallys.
I hardly think he was under any type of annual performance
review to keep his job or determine next year’s salary.
After all, there are a lot of idealist simple-minded
persons at NCC and it would be easy for Harper to do a
number on them for another year’s appointment.
After all, cloth-eared bints tend to find their peers
and form groups; teabaggers spring to mind.
RB – Well, Mrs.Ted is apparently very satisfied with their relationship… but then again, Ted’s probably the only notch in her belt, so what would she know? 😉
CTZen
He knows it’s not, and I’m pretty sure by this time he must know that saying it is, over and over, won’t make it so.
Torontonian – So he really is a career bureaucrat. Wingnut welfare!
Liz – Why for 5 years?
Good morrow, all!
Bleatmop – because AIDS is a retrovirus. It can lie dormant for years until something else compromises the immunological system, and then it can kick in and render the system open to all kinds of opportunistic disease that otherwise we wouldn’t even notice. Five years of negative test results for the HIV antibodies is a good indication that you dodged the bullet. It also helps to stay happy, healthy and careful.
JJ – He doesn’t have to believe it, he only has to repeat it in order to make other people believe that he agrees with that idea. Otherwise, he has no audience.
Come out, come out, whatever you are! – CTZen
