Colorado Springs' most famous stain has reappeared!
Ted Haggard spent years damning homosexuality from his pulpit at New Life Church, but found himself ousted after rent boy Mike Jones outed him as a meth-smoking homo. The disgraced Haggard soon moved to Arizona, where he and his family vowed to work through their very public problems. Well, now he's back, but not to his old tricks.
Under a severance deal that Ted Haggard reached with the church in 2006, he agreed to leave Colorado Springs and not talk about the scandal publicly. The deal expired at the end of 2007. New pastor Brady Boyd said Haggard was now free to live where he wanted and has returned to Colorado Springs."They have moved back and they live in the original house that they lived in for many years," Boyd said of Haggard and his wife, Gayle.
Haggard answered the telephone at his Colorado Springs telephone number on Sunday and confirmed he was in the city but said he couldn't talk to reporters.
Well that's a damn shame. We'd love to hear how his "degayification" process went!

I just think the Ted Haggard story is absolutely awesome. I mean, he spends years talking about how evil homosexuality is, rises up to the top and is one of America's most influential pastors and then it turns out he's actually gay, and just like all human beings, was unable to control his sexuality. Priceless!
He looks like an uncute monkey.
It's true, only the good die young. George Carlin's gone and this creep is back.
George Carlin died? When?
As for Haggard, why would he want to move back to the same city + house? I'd have preferred to stay somewhere different + try a new start.
His personal life now is his own and he should just be left alone. If, however, he decides to become a spokesman for so called "ex-gays" and starts attacking gay people again then the gloves should come off and he should be held up as a fraud in the press and on the internet.
Puddy Katz- Why is his personal life now his own? Because he got busted? I think not. He did everything in his power to make gays peoples' lives as difficult as possible. We should dog him for the rest of his life.
Other closeted homophobes (republicans) need to learn that there is a price to pay for throwing gays under the bus to advance their own careers.
He's STILL talking about being gay as something horrible that needs to be fixed.
I guarantee that his plan is to start a new "church" and go back to gaybashing again.
