1. Found in his "In the News"

"Bill Clinton's White House was the most responsive in recent history," he said. "He really wanted to please evangelical Christians. He's a Bible-believing Christian himself; his problem was, he was a sex addict."

2. Watching Haggard on video, as opposed to just seeing a picture of him...

you really get a much better idea of why he has to pay to get laid.

Haggard is a scary, threatening, crazy freak.

I don't think gay rights organizations are going to want his help after he comes out of the closet.

Then again, maybe it's just the Crystal Meth making him act so crazy.

3. Who is this bozo?

I have never heard of him until today.

4. "Haggard shrugs off any suggestion that [he and Bush] are buddy-buddy"

As for President Bush, Haggard shrugs off any suggestion that the two are buddy-buddy: "He's a Crawford, Texas, guy and I'm an Indiana farm kid - we have a lot of the same values."

At one typical meeting in Washington with a half-dozen other evangelicals, Haggard eyeballed Bush and pitched his point. But it wasn't about abortion or gay marriage - rather, of all things, the steel tariff.

"I told him we wanted it out," Haggard recalled. "I said, 'Those unions in Pennsylvania are not gonna vote for you. Your responsibility is the good of the people and free trade is the way we get cheaper steel.' "

For Haggard, free trade is one of the keys to the pursuit of happiness. "Free trade means there's plenty of aspirin, eyeglasses and food for everyone around the world. Without free trade, we'd have massive starvation. If people aren't getting (goods), the reason is political intervention."
