Why Pastor Ted Wanted That Meth
A Gay Outing for Democratic Voters



----
The Reverend Elmer Gantry was reading an illustrated pink periodical devoted to prize-fighters and chorus girls in his room at Elizabeth J. Schmutz Hall late of an afternoon when two large men walked in without knocking.

"Why, good evening, Brother Bains -- Brother Naylor! This is a pleasant surprise. I was, uh -- Did you ever see this horrible rag? . . . I was thinking of denouncing it next Sunday. I hope you never read it.

--Sinclair Lewis, "Elmer Gantry"

Haggard's continued vagueness about specific sins leads to speculation. But Wikipedia of all places provides some possible clues. Under "administering methamphetamines," the online encyclopedia states that "booty bumping" or "Keistering" have emerged as methods of taking crystal meth anally. Imagine Haggard lying face down on the massage table. Well you can take it from there.

The introduction of the substance anally, Wikipedia asserts, increases "sexual pleasure while the effects of the drug last."

Pastor Ted, in the tradition of Elmer Gantry, had made his congregation proud. Ted Haggard symbolized fundamentalism on the march. Unlike the stodgy geezers, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and James Dobson, the boyish Haggard related to young Jesus adorers. Like Gantry, however, Haggard, when discovered as sinning in the very ways he had described as sinful, took the slithering mode of escape.

The election eve scandals clearly turned some voters; Iraq, corruption and sleaze weighed heavily in the decisions of others. Inside Republican circles, an anonymous source informs me, a discussion has emerged about the value of continuing to portray the Party as the epitome of Godliness while periodically some of its most righteous members come or are forced out of the closet. Not only the sexual closet! The Republican "moralist" Bill Bennett, was "outed" as a gambling addict, radio bombast Rush Limbaugh as a drug addict and super religious Ralph Reed, for years tied to the most pious sounding preachers, as a man who couldn't resist bribes--from the religious Jew, Jack Abramoff, of course.

meth does a number on teeth, wonder what damage it does to the rectum

[acmavm]

1. I would assume that it would destroy any part of the body with

which it came into contact.

The concept that the repubs that squeal the loudest againt 'sin' but have the most to hide is not a new one. Ever heard the phrase 'methinks thou dost protest too much'? Hypocrisy is as old as sin. They go hand in hand.

Now, answer me a question if you can. Why does meth screw with the teeth so much? Does it home in on the teeth more than other places or are the teeth affected more that say, the organs?

I'm a child of the late 60's and we were what we were. But what is it about people now who think that it's okay to ingest crap made with battery acid and anhydrous ammonia and red phosphorus or whatever horrible horrible chemical that they make it with nowadays? Why does just the list of crap that it takes ot make the crap not tell people anything?

2. I don't know why the teeth suffer, apparently the whole body suffers

I've seen and learned this from watching the TV shows Intervention and Dog the Bounty Hunter

before and after pictures of users are astonishing

are there before and after pics of Haggard? has he lost weight? he probably didn't do it as often as regular users.

6. Primarily because it supresses appetite and boosts metabolism

The body begins to consume itself for nutrients. You just see the teeth, It leaches calcium from bones too. Also affects the body's immune system.

Think Pastor Ted has AIDS yet? If I was his wife, I'd find out PDQ.

7. I know -

Want to stay awake all night tonight?

Do an Google image search on "meth mouth".
When your done puking read this.

Meth causes the mouth to dry out very quickly.
When the body can not produce enough saliva to deal with the extreme drying of the mouth, the mouth becomes a breeding ground for bacteria.

Typically, meth users will also crave high calorie-high sugar soft drinks which will destroy the enamel of the surface of the teeth very quickly.

Then there is the grinding of the teeth because you are speeding your face off.

Casual users or users that take the drug only on "special occasions" are better able to manage the destructive side effects the drug causes to the gums and teeth.

Like I said Goggle Image it -

This is your mouth - this is your mouth on meth...

GOOD GOD!

4. Speaking of Haggard and Wikipedia

from wiki:

Haggard focused ministry efforts on homosexuals early in his Colorado Springs ministry by frequenting gay bars and inviting men to his congregation. ^{20}
