It's becoming an old story. Prominent anti-gay activist is accused of the very behavior and sexual orientation that he opposes. This time it is National Association of Evangelicals President Ted Haggard.
According to KKTV, Haggard's church said that last night he "admitted to some of the claims made by a former male escort", but has not admitted to all of the allegations. According to a KUSA, the male escort,
"Mike Jones" (I can't believe that's his real name), kept voicemails from Haggard in which he calls himself "Art". Jones claims Haggard was ordering meth from Jones:
"Hi Mike, this is Art. Hey, I was just calling to see if we could get any more. Either $100 or $200 supply. And I could pick it up really anytime. . . ."
And in another vague, smoking gun voicemail:
"Hi Mike, this is Art, I am here in Denver and sorry that I missed you. But as I said, if you want to go ahead and get the stuff, then that would be great. . . . "
I recognized Haggard as the megachurch pastor featured in the Jesus Camp.
