Mr. Haggard received a salary of $115,000 for the 10 months he worked in 2006 and an $85,000 anniversary bonus before the scandal broke, The Gazette reported. Mr. Haggard's severance package included a year's salary of $138,000. He also receives royalties from his books, the newspaper reported.Jesus.

USA_Limey I would agree probably being the better man for RD not to indulge in schadenfreude over this. But I was so hoping when the scandal went down I was doing constant Google searches on RD and TH just to see if any cool comments surfaced. Alas they did not. So kudos for Richard in taking the high ground, even at the expense of my fun.26. Comment #65999 by steveroot on August 27, 2007 at 6:38 pm
The jolly old Bishop of Birmingham
buggered three maids while confirming 'em;
as they knelt seeking god,
he excited his rod
and pumped his Episcopal sperm in 'em.

A lovely young nun from Siberia
was blessed with a virgin interior
'til a lusty old monk
climbed into her bunk,
and now she's the Mother Superior!

What I want to know is whether donations to Ted Haggard are tax-deductible. The newspaper article doesn't say, but one sentence ("Mike Ware, an overseer for New Life Church, told The Gazette of Colorado Springs on Friday that it was premature of Mr. Haggard to release the statement without first consulting the overseers") suggests to me that the donations might be channeled through the New Life Church, in which case presumably they would be tax-deductible. I don't know how these things work in USA, but I should have thought this might be a major embarrassment to the New Life Church. Do we have any legally qualified readers, or readers knowledgeable about US or Colorado law, who could enlighten us?34. Comment #66027 by pewkatchoo on August 28, 2007 at 12:44 am

Why is everybody so shock/horror surprised? When has getting money out of people ever had anything to do with being virtuous and honest? Haggard is still doing who he does best - screwing people!47. Comment #66060 by RickM on August 28, 2007 at 6:40 am

Oh Great Scott. If Ted Haggard is EVER identified as a Psychologist, my profession is doomed. Luckily, our ethics code prevents any psychologist from introducing religion into any treatment where it is not explicitly requested.
