'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I dunno, it sounds too wonderfully ironic to be true. I suspect that this could be a false allegation.
Well, I just read that voice analysis of voicemails left on the prostitute's phone have proven to be Haggards.
eta: OK, a voice expert believes it's Haggard.

This was my very first thought...as I was trolling through the myriad 'scandals' in the paper this morning. Looking at it from the macro view, the entire news cycle seems to be an endless series of I know you are, but what am I? t /peewee
Haggard, 50, initially denied the allegations, telling 9News Wednesday night that "I've never had a gay relationship with anybody, and I'm steady with my wife. I'm faithful to my wife."
But KKTV in Colorado Springs reported that New Life Associate Senior Pastor Ross Parsley told a meeting of church elders Thursday night that Haggard had met with the church's overseers earlier in the day and "had admitted to some indiscretions."
Parsley told the elders that Haggard had said some of the allegations were true, but not all of them.

Yeah, he didn't say which allegations were true. So is the true stuff the gay sex? Or the meth?
And, yes, what tommyrot said.
Though whatever of it's true, I won't cry to see a major homophobic voice take a fall.
We also still had a milkman when I was really little, like under six.
My grandparents owned a dairy store and delivered milk & juice up until 1981 (I think that was the year the store closed). They also made ice cream at the store! They didn't deliver that although my grandfather would bring it from Delaware, packed in dry ice, up to my mom and aunt when they were in college in New York.
Huh. Some but not all. Sounds a lot like "I DID not have sex with that woMAN."
Sigh.
Has it always been the case that winning politics hinges on mudslinging and scandal?
I wouldn't be at all surprised that this guy is lying to everyone, including himself. But the popularity context-fear mongering-scandal digging nature of our decision making process...especially when it comes to choosing leadership, just makes me sad.
Haggard has apparently admitted that at least some of it's true.
Huh, so it could really just be that ironic. I wonder if he'll admit to having a drinking problem soon.
That's what I was thinking too shrift, even though it seems wrong in the "it shouldn't be an issue" sense.
