Confessions of an Angry Hustler: Ted Haggard's Bitter Boy Tells All
Confessions of an Angry Hustler
Ted Haggard's bitter boy toy tells all
By Jack E. Jett

For the first time, Mike Jones shares the intimate details about his "working" relationship with one of the evangelical community's biggest national figures.

How does it feel to be thrust into the limelight?
I wish I had a word for it. Everything is a blur to me right now. I've had over 500 phone calls, 300 e-mails. It is just overwhelming. You know, I made the decision to do it on my own because that's the kind of guy I am. It's hard for me to ask for help.

What has changed most about your life recently?
Well, I don't have a job. What is blowing me away for the most part is when I walk down the street, or when I was in line to vote, people come up to me, hugging me and shaking my hand, and they are not just all gay people. I didn't do it to be a "hero," which some people are calling me. I'm uneasy with that word, but it's been humbling. It's just weird because I never thought in my wildest dreams that I'd be in this position.



What did you think when you first saw Ted Haggard on the news denying he knew you? At one point, he says, "What's the guy's name again?"
Yeah, that was amazing. With all the money and resources they have, I was shocked that he was speaking for himself. He has always done that, he has always wanted to be in the limelight. I mean, this is the church he built. He couldn't help himself and—you know what?—that's what did him in. The first time he said, "I don't know Mike Jones," I thought, Well, that's the easiest part to prove.

Anything else of note?
Okay, I'll tell you one little tidbit, and I haven't said this too much so you are going to get a bit of an exclusive: He loved to have sex in the dark. We would have one little candle going.

1. But that's all in the past now Mike.
Reverend Haggard is getting cured so you won't be able to tempt him anymore. He's got televangelist buddies who're gonna fix him right by "laying on of hands." Rev. James Dobson is going to show him his penis in the shower and explain that it's for use on a lawfully wedded woman who is one's wife. Ted Haggard's going straight at last, where you can't get him. He's gonna wash that Gay right out of his hair.

3. I'd like to thank Mike Jones for
coming forward. I'm not sure why he did..but exposing vast hypocricy has only benefitted the Planet so far.

4. I love this quote:
Are you sure he just wasn't interested in saving your soul?
Yes, I am certain. We never discussed religion at all.

Except perhaps for the "OH GOD, OH GOD!"

5. My favorite part.
I wonder if that's what he is referring to when he talks of his dark places.


Possibly. I want to tell you, when I listen to some of the cuts of some his sermons, the way he is talking and the stories he's telling, he is talking about his life ... inside ... totally.
