Haggard Drinks It Down

posted by on November 9 at 9:10 AM

Remember Ted Haggard? The meth-buying, pole-smoking, anti-gay evangelical minister? Newspeak dug up an interesting quote from the disgraced pastor…

“After juicing a whole cucumber, I drink it down.”

It’s weight-control advice, ostensibly, from Haggard’s book The Jerusalem Diet. But it sounds like a cry for help now, doesn’t it?

Hmm… juicy…

"The Jerusalem Diet?" Give me a break. It should be a huge warning sign to church members when you pastor is publishing a diet book - especially when he is giving that diet book a faintly Jesusy name.

I bet he drinks it with a straw.

Why? Because I hear he likes to suck it before he drinks it down.

Well, at least HE never said publicly he was gonna bend over the plate and take one for the team. No, that'd be our own Mark Driscoll whose Freudian slip is showing.
