"Haggard the hetero"

From today's Slate:
Haggard the hetero: Evangelical leader Ted Haggard, who months ago admitted to "sexual immorality" and to buying methamphetamine from a gay escort, claims that after three weeks of therapy, he's "completely heterosexual." The saved reverend was so impressed with his conversional couch trip that he and his wife, Gayle, have decided to pursue master's degrees in psychology. Tom Cruise doesn't know what to think.
Ugh.

Oh, PUHLEEEEZ!!!!

S'funny. We were just talking about this yo-ho yesterday. After seeing him talking about homosexuality in "Jesus Camp" last week, we were pondering what he was up to now, AND if he would soon be making this exact ridiculous statement any minute now. Guess this answers that question.

I am so glad that he thinks that homosexuality can be "cured" like it is a disease or something. And why is that stupid woman still with him? HELLO-- your husband is a closeted homosexual who is too "self righteous" to admit it. Disgusting.

lol* This is soo ridiculous! Amerika, das Land der unbegrenzten Moeglichkeiten, as we always say. Hard to believe that there are still people who even listen to him.

I know! What is the color in their world? "Unbegrentzen Moeglichkeiten," do you say that with irony? I would!

Nobody takes this seriously. I bet the people in his church are rolling their eyes.

How soon before he's caught in more "sexual impropriety?"
