A Sucker Every MinuteTommi Avicolli Meccabyline‚ Nov. 06‚ 2006“There’s a sucker born every minute,” said P.T. Barnum. If he were alive today, Barnum would no doubt be a fundamentalist preacher. The kind like Rev. Ted Haggard, president of the National Association of Evangelicals in Colorado Springs, Colorado. A man who has been a leader in the campaign against that most evil of evils: gay marriage. A man who has a direct connection to the big cheese in the sky, not to mention the village idiot in the White House. Too bad Mike Jones, a male prostitute who advertises in gay papers, is now saying that the Rev. Haggard hired him on a monthly basis for instructions of the “Biblical” kind. According to the allegations, Haggard also did methamphetamines to heighten his sexual experiences. Jones blew the, uh, whistle on his client after he saw him on the boob tube and realized what a hypocrite he was. “It made me angry that here’s someone preaching about gay marriage and going behind the scenes having gay sex,” he told the Associated Press (AP). |
