Good Point

You know the whole Ted Haggard fundie-church-leader-gay-hooker-crystal-meth scandal, right?

(See if that doesn't get me some Google hits.)

You may also have heard of Mark Driscoll's apologia for Haggard's behavior on his theology blog, specifically this point:

Most pastors I know do not have satisfying, free, sexual conversations and liberties with their wives. At the risk of being even more widely despised than I currently am, I will lean over the plate and take one for the team on this. It is not uncommon to meet pastors’ wives who really let themselves go; they sometimes feel that because their husband is a pastor, he is therefore trapped into fidelity, which gives them cause for laziness. A wife who lets herself go and is not sexually available to her husband in the ways that the Song of Songs is so frank about is not responsible for her husband’s sin, but she may not be helping him either.

Last night I was in a group of several gay men discussing this topic, and one remarked, "You know what's interesting about that is that Haggard was a bottom. So how'd his wife let herself go, was her fist getting too skinny?!"
