Ted Haggard Quits New Life 'Restoration Team'

Technically, it only took three weeks of intensive "restoration" a full year ago to make Ted Haggard a "complete heterosexual." But on Tuesday night, the new pastor of the Colorado Springs megachurch that Haggard founded has announced that Haggard is quitting the team - and that "the process of restoring Ted Haggard is incomplete."

The latest twist in the Haggard drama comes via a vaguely-worded letter send Tuesday to friends of New Life Church by its new pastor, Brady Boyd. In the letter, Boyd indicates that Haggard - the charismatic evangelical leader who was fired by his church in early November, 2006 in a shocking gay sex and meth scandal involving male escort Mike Jones - is moving on.

Its not the gayness its the meth that really hard to quit, ask any crank head who's dying from it.

So now will they get to work on the adulterers like John Mc and Rudy and Fred T

At what point did Colorado Springs become fundamentalist wackjob central anyway? There must be something in the water out there.

Wow.. who would've thought that making a "choice" would be this difficult? Or is Haggard just "choosing" to stay gay?

Republicans and the religious whackos remind me of stumps... only not as bright.

Whoa.!.. This far posting, and no mentioned Huckabee, a suspicious person who also condemns others....as for Ted to become fruitful for god, I suggest "High Colonics", the treatment of downloading excrement.

I wonder what Larry Craig's stance is on this issue?

Don't give up, Ted!

We true conservative Christains are behind you!

(But not in that way)

Don't let the liberal demons tempt you! And stay away from Sin Fransico!

Everytime you want to have your, ah, rectum, ah, poked, just imagine the Baby Jesus standing near by watching you.

(Unless that makes you excited for some reason)

Hope this helps.

This is a cry for help if I ever saw one. If everyone reading this will send $100 to the "Ted Haggard Rescue Fund," he can get the kind of help that he truly needs. For those of you feeling particularly generous, a donation of $1000 would go even further towards saving his soul. Hey - this approach worked for Oral Roberts a couple of times.....

This guy is still in the closet. I pity his wife. This guy just is a jerk and will cause her nothing but more pain.

Maybe Exorcism and 2 aspirins would work.

What a bunch of Hypocrites! Just admit you are gay and let yourself go.

Denial is a defense mechanism in which a person is faced with a fact that is too painful to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence.

You can't run from who you are.

Wonder how all this "treatment" worked? So now he's only "half gay," huh? But the good news is that they've confiscated all of his Madonna cd's, his Kathy Griffin dvd's, and the leather chaps he wore to Mardi Gras. Now,he's forced to wear white jockey underwear with holes in them,his referigerator is filthy, and there are two copies of "Field and Stream" by the toilet. Unfortunately, the bologna pony is still on his A-list. Stand up for jesus.

Ted Haggard led a life of denial, bigotry, hypocrisy, and lies ... and now has been cast out by his "compassionate" brethren. What goes around comes around.

Looks as if Ted got it in the end.

Er ... so to speak.
