Say it ain't so, Ted

Here we go again, another prominent evangelist taking a fall. This one's a little different. Not a certified wacko like Swaggart, Roberts, et al. Not this time. Ted Haggard is the president of the National Association of Evangelicals, a very prominent organization and also pastor of the mega New Life Church in Colorado.

At first he denied everything and it looked like that maybe this was a smear campaign against him with the upcoming election.

But no. Ted has admitted to buying meth from a gay escort and receiving a massage. He's denied any relationship with the escort and says he didn't use the meth, only that he was tempted (insert your own Clinton "I didn't inhale" joke here).

This isn't good. Nope, not at all. There will probably be much more to come, and it won't be pretty.
