A November surprise

This from a new Media Transparency article by Bill Berkowitz:

Given Haggard's prominence in the evangelical and political communities, his affair [alleged meth use and gay sex with a prostitute] is of far greater import than the televangelist scandals of the 1980s involving the Rev. Jimmy Swaggart and PTL's Jim Bakker -- the former was caught engaging in meet-ups with prostitutes, while the latter was discovered dabbling in both unique sexual relationships, and contemptible financial shenanigans.
