What I Learned from Rev. Ted Haggard

The commentary around the Haggard affair has been entertaining, if a bit sickening. It's always satisfying, to the yahoo inside each of us who is always ready with a bucket of hot tar and a bushel of feathers, to see a big loud-mouthed fish get caught on his own hook. Hoist on his own petard, as hack writers say. But there is a serious side to it all. Beyond the incalculable pain to his children and how pissed off his wife must be, there are lessons in it for all of us. Personally, I have learned the following, and for this I will always be thankful.

* Christians are normal people with normal human needs
* A man can still aspire to be a hot male hooker at 49
* Meth makes for hot sex
