Ted Haggard is Back
You can't keep a good drama queen down.
Ted Haggard, the disgraced pastor of the New Life megachurch in Colorado Springs, whom you might of thought would never occupy a pulpit again, but rather skulk around Phoenix, Arizona, peddling life insurance, is ba-a-a-ack.
Ted Haggard, who proves that the Elmer Gantry archetype is alive and well in American Christianity.
Ted Haggard, who thinks downtown Colorado Springs is controlled by demons.
Ted Haggard, who, to his credit, thought that evangelical Christians should embrace environmentalism, but then got busy with meth and gay escorts.
Really, he belongs in a convertible with a sash (Drama Queen 2008) doing his best parade wave ("elbow elbow wrist wrist").
Really, he is Colorado's gift to religious journalism. What will he do next?

Did you happen to catch the zombie-esque language in The Independent article?
Ye gods, that was funny.
I used to feel sorry for Ted Haggard. I mean, being disgraced like that, so publicly isn't anything I would wish on anyone.
That being said, all I can really say is "wow"...
