 * Ted Haggard Admits "Some" Guilt: that he received a massage, and purchased crystal methamphetamine from Mike Jones, his homosexual prostitute accuser.

Post Show Update: Time magazine quotes Haggard's startling comments in the movie, Jesus Camp, speaking about homosexuality and then looking "mockingly into the camera to say, 'I think I know what you did last night. If you send me a thousand dollars, I won't tell your wife.' The crowd responds with peals of laughter. Then he says with a wide smile, 'If you use any of this, I'll sue you.'"
 * The BEL General Manager: Will Duffy predicted yesterday that if Haggard is guilty, he will only admit to the drugs, and not to the homosexual behavior. And Bob Enyart added that if so, the Nat'l Association of Evangelicals will be finished with him, but his church would probably slap him on the wrist and he'd be back in the pulpit in six months. So far, Will's prediction has come true. We'll wait to judge Bob's.
 * Peter Boyles as Nathan: KHOW talk show host Peter Boyles hurts his "gay" neighbors, and rebels against God, by praising homosexuals. But still, regarding these accusations, Boyles played the role of Nathan the prophet to Haggard's adulterous King David.
Post Show Update: Even the Arabic media is reporting on this "Christian" hypocrisy, including the Islamic Aljazeera network. As Nathan told David, "by this deed you have given great opportunity to the enemies of the LORD..."
