Slog - Comments on Dobson Predicts Five More Years of Gayness for Ted Haggard http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/11/dobson_predicts_five This appeared on last Wednesday's Larry King Live but is still worth watching five days later: Focus on the Family figurehead Dr. James Dobson holding forth on the long, hard road of "spiritual restoration" before disgraced mega-pastor /meth hoarder Ted Haggard: (According to Dobson, "Three men will oversee discipline and punishment" for the fallen Haggard. Hubba hubba.) Speaking of impressive imagery: You know what's better than a photo of Dina Martina with Three's Company's Joyce DeWitt? Nothing, unless it's a photo of Dina Martina, Joyce DeWitt, and that weird drag-queen puppet Madame. (Thanks to the Lady Bunny for the Dina...

That could be really fun.

Any straight guys out there with absent/abusive fathers? Sounds like you don't exist either.

I had the same reaction. I didn't know "restoration" could be so hot...

Isn't that kinda their God's job?

Also, my fascination with Madame is like a crow to shiny objects.

Too bad, ‘cause it won’t work.

Discipline and punishment? Long and hard? Hell, I know plenty of guys who pay good money for that kind of thing. Lucky Teddy.

Why do I remember that Madame puppet? Was she "it" ever on Hollywood Squares reruns?

This is a motherfucker of a "sexual identity crisis" I am having. God damn mother. God damn father. How did they teach my dick to get so hard around other boys?

A sexual "identity" crisis is when you lie to the world about being a polesmoker and pretend you like vagina in order to retain your position of power and wealth.

And why does that fuckwit Larry King give any air time to this bullshit? I believe he is a man of intelligence, but he must lack journalistic ethics and standards because he knows what Dobson is saying IS bullshit and is refuted by empirical evidence, yet he refuses to call him out.

Even a softball would have been better than just sitting there letting Dobson explain how my mother did this to me.

Confidential to Mom: Thanks! Cock = good!

Is he saying that only males should have oversight of child-rearing? Since obviously a mother's hand turns any good boy into a screaming queen.


But, aren't the wives are supposed to stay home and not have jobs...then again, men need to lead their households...rgh...gah...fundamentalist Christian brain...getting confused...can't cope...must...find...leather-boy porn...ahhhh.
