The Honorable Rev. Ted Haggard
I don't normally care about what the evangelists spew out of their mouths, and even when they say inflammatory things about family values or homosexuals or whatever, I usually don't think it's worth even retorting. There's a completely different culture over in that realm, and attempting to have a rational discussion with those people is usually rather pointless. It always turns into a religious debate, and I see no reason to get into such arguments because there is no end to them.
But what Haggard is saying now in attempting to defend himself from allegations that he had a sexual relationship with a male prostitute is really going way over the top. He's claiming he bought meth but didn't use it and just wanted a "massage" from a male prostitue? Is this guy for real? Did the dog eat his homework, too??
At this point it's basically an insult to hear stuff like this. We all know that Clinton lied when he said he "didn't inhale", and I thought everyone learned from that episode that it's simply better to say you've done drugs and you don't do it anymore than to come up with some lame excuse that only elementary-school teachers ever hear. Apparently Haggard didn't learn that lesson, so instead he wants us to believe that he bought a bunch of meth, just that once, and threw it away instead.
But the real insult is to claim that he called up a male prostitute because he wanted a "massage". I don't know about you, but I have never thought to myself, "Hey, I want a massage, why don't I call up a prostitute!". It's so ludicrous I can't even begin to describe how mad I get when people say things like this! It assumes that we are so stupid we would actually believe something so idiotic and nonsensical! There are plenty of real massage therapists who are easily locatable who will give massages, both in an office and in your own home. Haggard doesn't claim he tried calling one of those therapists and was mislead, he admits he knew he was calling a prostitute! No one in their right mind would call up a prostitute just to get a massage, give me a break!
Hey Haggard, guess what? YOU'RE GAY. It's not a big deal, just admit it. God would prefer that you were gay than that you were a LIAR, and right now He knows that you are BOTH.
