I've heard of Dobson, actually, I worked with him--but have never heard of Haggard. I have worked in religious publishing for a few years, and a disgraced leader was pretty par for the course. Made for delicious gossip in the editor's lounge for a day or two.
This idea that evangelicals are sheltered idiots may be what's behind all of this...and I can tell you from a literary standpoint--this whole scandal is contrived--utterly scripted. The day after this guy is accused, he comes out and makes it worse? Somebody is pulling some strings.
