This man is ridiculous. Anything to make a quick buck! He is so sad that he has to use every accuse to deny who he truly is inside. I dont feel sorry for the man whatsoever. Who cares if you’re gay, just come out already and be happy, instead of living your life in pity and regret and falling in these horrible traps.

I think that Ted Haggard will be judged by God. However, how his wife can stay with him after what he admitted to, proves that either she is a very needy person, or she’s truly a Saint! As for Mr. Jones, well, I think he is quite an opportunist. He could have handled this in a different way I’m sure.

Way to go Ted! You are a wonderful promoter of atheism! Thank you. I also thank Mike Jones for both his courage and also for his wonderful TV appearances. He looked like a movie star, and Ted Haggard looked like a lying whore caught in the act.

I have known Mike socially for years. His timing could not have been worse with the amendments we had on the ballot that year and what was going on with political figures in the news at the time. He was not a “hero” among a lot of members of the gay community here. He made money off of this and said so. I saw him at the opening night of a gay themed Broadway show. I have never seen him at the opening of any shows in Denver.

$130,000 a year, with hunky Mike Jones as one of the perks?! Had I known preachers got all that, I would have grown up to be one, too.

Was he really abused as a second grader?
I didn’t know he was Catholic.

This is tawdry and pitiful. I wonder how much money he is getting for doing this, as well as how much he will be able to rake in for a book deal (which you know is coming).

Can’t disgraced public figures just recede quietly into obscurity?

Haggard is still looking for someone other than himself to blame;

“said he was sexually abused as a second-grader.”

“said he bought the drugs but never used them.”

As the recovery community often says, “Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.”

What a sad, sorry excuse for a man. Too bad he is so needy that he cannot take himself out of the spotlight and feels the need to bring attention to his inadequacy. Someone should start a ‘club’ for defrocked mega-ministers; maybe Jimmy Swaggert could host the first meeting.

Who the hell could stomach watching this filthy bastard for 41 whole minutes?
