The thing is, they're not even good liars.
The most amazing thing about the recent Ted Haggard sleaze-a-palooza is how clearly it shows how bad the right-wing wankersphere is at lying -- even when they've had so much practice at it.
Remember, these are the people who, first, were absolutely adamant that Saddam Hussein had WMDs (and who even knew exactly where those WMDs were), only to backpedal furiously later by suggesting that they only meant he had a WMD "program."
These are the people who assured everyone how the invasion of Iraq would be a "cakewalk" and could be done on the cheap with minimal troops, and who are now denying having said any such thing.
These are the people who continually linked Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda, only to later disavow any knowledge of having suggested any such thing.
These are the people who accused Democrats of being cowardly, treasonous scum because those Democrats weren't prepared to "stay the course." "Stay the course?" those same wankers now ask in astonishment. "Hey, that wasn't us."
And in uber-douchebag Ted Haggard, we have the latest data point in a long line of data points that these people can't seem to lie to save their lives. Haggard first denies knowing Jones, then admits, well, OK, he knows him but, hey, the only reason he went to a gay hooker was for a massage, and only because the hotel gave him the referral.
Now, hands up, all those of you who are actually stupid enough to believe the hotel story. (I mean besides you folks -- raising your hands would be depressingly redundant.)
It's not even the lies anymore -- it's that they're so astonishingly implausible, if not outright crap from the outset. It's as if these people have been lying for so long, and have been getting away with it for just as long, that they can't even be bothered to put any effort into their dishonesty. "Sure, he's a gay whore, but I'm just here for the physiotherapy."
Jesus, even a bored six-year-old can come up with better stories than that. Which, when you think about it, sort of explains that whole demographic, doesn't it?

Of course, in a year or two it will be like nothing ever happened. Haggard will go into rehab after admitting that he actually DID have gay sex, get himself cleansed of his addictions (and do some serious spiritual housecleaning to rid himself of all of those 'icky' gay inclinations), and not only be forgiven by his wife (who ought to be the one who is most offended by his behaviour), but his congregation and the organization of evangelicals or whatever it's called.
Sure, we haven't seen him admit to the gay sex yet, but I predict he will by the end of the year. March at the latest, but most likely by new year's eve, when most people feel the need to purge themselves and start over.
The point is, eventually he will. He will also either admit to ingesting the meth or be proven to have lied about it somehow.
Then there will be a huge outpouring of symptahy and support from christians and conservatives worldwide, which is complete hypocrisy considering if he were a liberal democrat they'd be falling all over themselves to work as much public condemnation as possible into every newscast. Conservatives would love to take advantage of such a situation to prove their point about how immoral and unchristian ALL liberals are.
It's all quite predictable. Both he and they will follow the sterling example set by Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker, Tony Leyva and catholic priests the world over. His congregation will accept him back with open arms, he will appear on tv news programs no less than a hundred times to tearfully admit his sins and apologise 'to everyone he hurt or disappointed', and in less time than it takes to snort a hit he'll be back in front of millions of worshippers.
And still publicly condemning others for the 'sin' of homosexuality, while privately indulging in his own gay lifestyle.
That is the part that most triggers my gag reflex; that he is such a hypocrite he openly speaks against a lifestyle he is privately part of. Talking about how disgusting and a sinful it is out of one side of his mouth while doing...well, we all know what with the other.
He won't learn a thing about about tolerance, acceptance or honesty from any of this.
And in a year or two he'll be back behind the pulpit preaching anti-gay hatred to an equally hypocritical multitude of christians and conservatives, who will have conveniently forgotten all about it.
It is quite possible that Haggard may have found Jones through a hotel "referral", but that referral would be none other than Denver's guide to the gay community. So technically I guess, he's not really lying. If he did actually only get a massage from Mike, if he was lying on his stomach with an erection and didn't expose said erection and Jones massage his prostrate, he did so with Haggard's face in the pillow, so he really wasn't having gay sex after all because he didn't really see himself having gay sex. That explains everything, now he can say to his flock, send me more money to fight those evil, family destroyin' gays.
Check it out CC, you tail should be wagging all day long

Ho. Lee. Shit.
And I thought we'd have to wait until new year's eve for that confession.
Let's see...
Caught lying: check.
Caught doing drugs: check.
Caught having gay sex: check.
Busted for being a lying, hypocritical, self-important little bastard, humiliating his wife and disgracing his whole family while doing the very thing he was most outspokenly against:
check, check and check.
And yet we know he'll be back behind the pulpit within the next 12-24 months, preaching against that same 'immorality'.
Go figure.
I sure CC will be blogging about it shortly, but I think his wagging tail is preventing him typing right now. I just see him now, drooling, tail wagging at mach 5 and his leg twitching with joy.
LOL

This is typical of this type of religious person; the "born again." So-called people of faith like this tend to be addicted to the grand gesture of forgiveness in the face of fairly contemptible sin (flashback to their conversion experiences), because their ability to show forgiveness in cases like this proves, to EVERYONE ELSE, just how wonderful and good and Christian they are. After the grand show, they go back to the poisonous gossip, the hypocrisy, the judgementality, the fraud, the emotional abuse...and to all the sodomy and meth, naturally.
