The alleged phone calls always came from a public phone. Area code 719. Hundred-dollar bills allegedly arrived in an envelope with a single name, "Art," where the return address should be.

Michael Jones claims the calls and the money were for drug-fueled gay sexual encounters with Colorado Springs pastor Ted Haggard.

<snip>

Jones said his sexual relationship with Haggard began three years ago after he received a phone call in response to an ad he had listed on rentboy.com, a gay escort Web site.

"He called me, saying he was visiting from Kansas City," Jones said. "We hooked up at my place. We always met at my place. He went by the name 'Art.'

<snip>

Jones said he was paid $200 for the sex sessions, which usually lasted about an hour. He said Haggard did not ask him to perform any unusual sex acts or role play.

"It was pretty much vanilla sex," Jones said.

3. ....

:rofl:

5. LOL!

You better believe it....:evilgrin:

4. Art happens to be Pastor Ted's middle name!!!

Ironically...


I'm just sayin'...

8. Republicon prostitute Jeff Gannon has to figure in here somewhere

I mean, a male prostitute visits the Bush white house over 100 times, according to the official Secret Service records.

Then Bush's spiritual confidant Haggard gets flushed out of the closet as a user of male prostitutes...

what is it with republicon men using male prostitutes? Is it a THING?

I mean, really...

11. Bush and his Bots love the rush of

FORBIDDEN SEX

[SpiralHawk]

15. Ahhh, forbidden sex. Well, if the republicons would only honor

the healthy reality of loving sexuality between consenting adults, then the republicons would not have so much deviancy and such a perverse need for Forbidden Sex, whatever that is.

The shit of republicon sexual hypocricy does not float.

9. Just keep in mind that this guy failed the polygraph test he took

Anyway the results showed "deception."

Haggard has admitted to a massage and buying meth - which he threw away. Which I find very odd. Why would you buy meth if you weren't a user? If I bought meth I wouldn't have any idea what to do with it - don't know if you smoke it or shoot it or what. So this Haggard sure isn't pure as the driven snow.

But this accuser may also have a hidden agenda. Like he may have tried to blackmail Haggard or some other wierd thing.

12. Plus - if what he was after was a massage -

why would a straight man, a pillar of the community, call a gay hooker?

And what concierge at a fine hotel would refer a gay hooker to such a person for a "massage"?

There's holes in this story you could drive a truck through.

[leftyladyfrommo]

13. Huge holes.

And why did Haggard resign five minutes after the allegations? That always seems to be a dead give away.

[Bucky]

14. There's a there there, tho we don't know what it is. My guess is a flawed blackmail scheme.

What to look out for was whether anybody in the Religious Right had a hand in pushing this story out there. Those people smile pretty good, but when it comes to dividing up the sap pie, they play cut throat.

Really he should have known to take it to Vegas. What happens there stays there.

[leesa]

16. His phone message said he wanted "more" and he was asking for 100-200 dollar amounts

He's not throwing it away, he's a user. His story about the massage just doesn't add up...have you ever gone for a massage recommended by a hotel and asked the masseuse you just met for meth?

[lumpy]

18. Yes, he said he wanted more. Massage?meth?sex?

All of the above?

[Lars39]

17. The conditions were flawed.

The polygraph was performed on a radio program, according to an article I read earlier this morning.

[SoCalDem]

19. Meth may figure into that. he probably is a bit worried

about being arrested..and druggues are notoriously "deceptive"..

[arewenotdemo]

21. he may have failed a test

but he seems completely believable to me.

[leftchick]

10. so I visited rentboy.com....

:wow: oh my!

[hippiechick]

22. Yikes!

OK, I'm straight, but penises are just so ugly! :puke:

[IndianaGreen]

20. Haggard was just fired as pastor, breaking now on CNN

The board of overseers have fired Ted Haggard as pastor of his church saying that there was a sexual relationship.

[leftyladyfrommo]

23. Boy, that was fast.

There is definitely a "there" there for that to have happened.

Don't you feel sorry for that guy's wife and kids? What the hell does she do now?
