TLC is quickly becoming the network that’s less about learning and more about image rehabilitation. First Sarah Palin, now Ted Haggard. With his new St. James Church growing, Ted is ready to conquer new mountains. Like reality television. He’s inked a deal for the one-hour special Ted Haggard: Scandalous, airing Jan. 16, and is likely a test to see if there’s a market for a full-blown series about the one-time meth user. It’s based on just five days of filming that took place in June; cameras roll just as he and wife Gayle are launching their new church. And while Ted says he’s “just heard the documentary will be on … I don’t have any idea about a series,” you can be sure the man with a penchant for reaching large audiences would love to start feeding his habit again.
programming note
It’s The Ted + Gayle Haggard Show. Literally

Why arn’t all the rentboys swarming this guy to get him in the sack. No way this asshole can survive 2 meth fuled fuck binges and not be forced to deal with his sexuality.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Goes to show the depth of how twisted the rightwing lunatic nutbags minds are……….This guy proclaimed how “immoral” the Gay lifestyle was and these lunatics would fill his collection baskets at his mega church every Sunday………..And Sunday night this scumbag would be hiring male prostitutes and getting baked on crystal meth…………

My hit is he’s already had daliances. You can take the man out of a drug infested fuck den, but not visa versa.
