[Dr. Eckleburg]

The prostitute admitted in an article in the Denver Rocky Mountain News that he has known who Haggard was for months and timed it to correspond with the election so as to influence voters.

Wow. That's really alarming. I bet his statements won't be repeated by the major press. So you have a link to that story?

The gay prostitute made the same statement on Denver station 850KOA this morning. He said he felt he had to "do the moral thing" and try to influence the ballot question on gay marriage.

He's freely admitted to it - I think the Time website has the details, amongst others. He does say that once he found out who "Art" was and what he stood for (against gay marriage) then he decided to spill the beans. (In fact, he said he could have easily blackmailed him instead--he needed the money.)

But that does not exonerate Haggard one iota. He should not have given this man the opportunity to shame him in public. And now Haggard's admissions of "it was only a massage" and "I bought the drugs but didn't use them" are simply just Clintonesque. Who on earth is going to believe that? Note, the transcript of one the recorded phone calls clearly implies that it was not the first time he was buying drugs from that man.

I know I am repeating myself, but it is possible that this prostitute, being gay AND a prostitute, didn't like the church or the preacher! It would not be unusual for a homosexual, even in govt. to set up others who disagree with them. In Chicago recently a woman was murdered who worked at a church for just that reason.

I wait for proof. This is a Minister, he may not want to reveal it all yet, or may not want to condemn the guy outright, or take a stand or say something that can be further spun.
