"The leader of the influential National Association of Evangelicals, a vocal opponent of the drive for same-sex marriage, resigned Thursday after being accused of paying for sex with a man..."

I admit I get a real buzz of amusement every single time one of these cases come up. Yep, another veteran homophobe caught out, this time sneaking off every month for three years to visit a male escort.

This case is particularly chuckle-worthy, at least to me, because I remember Ted Haggard from Richard Dawkin's Channel 4 series, 'The Root of All Evil'. After a briefing slanging match, during which Haggard grinned in a very creepy way throughout, he expelled Dawkins from his casino-esque megachurch for "calling his congregation moneys" - or in laymen's terms, mentioning evolution in his presence.

Priceless.
