Slog - Comments on Ted Haggard & Paul Huberty http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/08/ted_haggard_paul_huberty Dave Coffman, Slog reader and muckraker extraordinaire, gets full credit for this headline in today's Rocky Mountain News, a big-league, mainstream daily in Denver: Haggard Fund Drive Points to Molester Let's take a moment to savor that. Hmm. Haggard fund drive points to molester... delicious. Could it get any better? I mean, surely nothing in the story itself could top that headline, right? Psych! It gets better... Disgraced minister Ted Haggard is asking that donations to support him and his family be sent to a Monument group run by a twice-convicted sex offender. Haggard, who has moved with his family...

I don't care how lowly a publication anyone thinks the Rocky is, it's mainstream in Denver and this story is getting the press it deserves.

THANK YOU DAVE COFFMAN!

If Haggard was a Catholic priest, his business would have been covered up no matter how many sins he committed.

I'm having a little trouble with Puberty's defense that the Dutch women were "in the men's area" at the pool -- as if it's normal and acceptable to stand out in the open jerking off as long as only men can see you. Ugh.

Also: he fucked his foster daughter in the ass.

How surprising that a man like that would be involved in a charity scam.

The RMN is very much a big daily, more conservative than the Denver Post but no less mainstream for that.
