Video: Watch Ted "I'm a heterosexual with issues" Haggard's appearance on Oprah... By Greg Hernandez on January 29, 2009 9:03 AM | Permalink | Comments (1) | ShareThis It's like watching a car wreck - you just can't look away.
Ted Haggard and his wife - who tells Oprah Winfrey they had an "amazing" sex life by the way - pay a visit to Oprah. Haggard shows the world what self-loathing and shame can do to a person's life.
He's a pathetic man. http://www.insidesocal.com/outinhollywood/2009/01/video-watch-ted-im-a-heterosex.html

1. Can't this guy just crawl into his hole of shame and go away already? |
|
Are people STILL sending this guy money and going to his damn church?

3. Only people that deserve to lose it! |
|
Of course, if they stopped sending money to him, they'd just find some other homophobic charlatan to send it to.

2. hmmm, a man with an "amazing" sex life with female partner and also |
|
several male partners on the side over the years equals a CHEATING BI-SEXUAL
nothing wrong with the bi-sexual part, the CHEATING is the issue along with the glaring HYPOCRISY
asshole.

Lots of people are complex.
Lots of people are bisexual.
Does it make his infidelity an excuse?
NO FRIGGING WAY.
He may be gay or bi or "straight with issues" or anything else he wants to claim, but when someone is in a relationship, you DO NOT CHEAT. Ever. There is NO excuse for that. It is so disrespectful to one's partner.
He is a man far more pathetic than I could ever hope to be. I don't do drugs. I may make jokes, but I don't use prostitutes. Why does he think he had to?
You're right; he is an asshole.
I'm surprised she didn't divorce him; as much as divorce is a nasty process, infidelity is a valid reason to do so. I can't think of too many things worse than that.

4. He's at least bi if not gay |

He can't admit to it though. Sucks to be stuck living a lie I'm sure...

5. I feel bad for the guy, he's terribly confused... |
|
To make matter worse his "community" finally allowed him to have his house back after claiming he was a heterosexual.
I don't think his coming out has been all that easy. Imagine having your wife and kids lose the place where they live because of it?
I don't think this guy is going to remain closeted for all that much longer.
It's a sad story.

but I was told that Haggard was going to be on, so I tuned in.
It was mesmerizing. Denial, lies, dissembling, and more denial.
What finally did it for me, though, was Oprah's voice-over at the end of the show - an addendum regarding the latest allegations about Haggard and a young male parishoner - she said that Haggard told her that he had deliberately not discussed this matter because he "wanted to protect the young man's privacy."
Right. After the young man had already come out in public.
Haggard - and his wife, who is nothing but an enabler - should just disappear from public view. He's less than worthless, and so is she.
I feel so sorry for their children.
