    Strangely compelling would be if this could be re-aired on Bravo with he Queer Eye guys doing a Mystery Science Theater 3000 on it.

    What would be compelling is a tighty-whitey ticklefight between Haggard and Jim Bakker. After that heinous image is seared into our collective consciousness, then we can all go jump off a ledge holding hands.

    However that's not too bad. I'm from North Carolina and was growing up during the HEIGHT of their fame. I'm used to PTL over the top Jim with Tammy.


    Angry meth head Ted and smiling Jimmy. That's a combo you definitely don't want to find at the local adult bookstore.

    "There's nothing schadenfreude-y about" enjoying someone else's misfortune. Right? Or is that in fact the literal definition of scahadenfreude?

    I can't believe Oprah's still on the rehab tour, what with Tom Cruise's couch-jumping, all the authors of fraudulent memoirs, etc. Does anyone still take Oprah that seriously?

    Okay, Ill watch it in the belief that its going to be 'Strangely Compelling', and not because Gawker's coverage has not been in any way influenced by the fact HBO is a major advertiser.

    My mother made a comment about Haggard on Oprah to me yesterday. Something along the lines of if he can, you can too (you know, give up the gay thing)!


    I had to school her that it was revealed this past week that his church paid a lot of money to a church volunteer to keep Haggard's shenanigans under wraps.


    Apparently the man still likes his meth! And butt sex!

    Where was this asshole when I was a cocktail waitress? After years of parochial school, getting tipped by a priest seems oddly appropriate.......

    Do they serve deep-fried cheeseburgers at Evolution? Because that is the official food of Wilkes-Barre. And I wish I was making that up.

    This guy is probably closer to the example of Jesus than a lot of clerics. Jesus drank wine with prostitutes and publicans in Judea's raucous watering holes, and he was known for his generosity. Also, Jesus -- very big Rihanna fan. Coincidence?
