Haggard-gate: Exposing hypocrisy or political smear.

By now most of you have read or heard about Ted Haggard, the President of the National Association of Evangelicals. A self-described prostitute named Mike Jones has accused Ted Haggard of paying him for gay sex and drugs over the past three years. Now we learn that Ted Haggard has resigned his position and admitted to some indiscretions (we do not know what those are, yet), while Mike Jones admitted that he was motivated by a desire to expose hypocrisy and to influence Tuesday's election. Yes, Colorado voters, as you guessed, are considering a state constitutional amendment defining marriage as "a union of one man and one woman." Was Jones merely exposing hypocrisy or was he motivated more by political smear? You be the judge. As for Haggard, though ALL have fallen short of the glory, he needs help fast and badly -- if Jones is speaking the truth. Want to read more, start here.
