A Little Late to the Party

I know it's been all over the news and according to my friend Joe over 2,500 blogs mentioned the story the day it broke, but I am really enjoying the fall of Pastor Ted Haggard by his male hustler, Mike Jones. I guess I've been too busy watching the coverage on television, clapping my hands and throwing my head back in maniacal laughter ever since Mike and Ted's Excellent Adventure first hit the news to write a post about it. Let's face it, this one speaks for itself. Truly, one could not craft a better gay sex scandal. It's got everything--sex, drugs and gospel music, a holier than thou preacher with a direct hotline to our homo-hating president and a hunky male escort with pretty damning evidence in the way of phone messages.

I know it's a sin to delight in the misfortune of others, but it's only fair. Ol' Ted is getting his just desserts. Without rehashing the details of the story which you all undoubtedly know by now, I'll just include a photo of the happy couple.
