Who's stepping down now?
That would be former Pastor Ted Haggard, leader of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs, CO. - with a flock of some 14,000 believers.
Before we start...how is his WIFE taking all of this? Did you see her in the interview the other day with him admitting to buying (but throwing away) meth? OMG - she must be FURIOUS. Her husband, the "moral" leader of 14,000 is having an affair...with a GAY ESCORT.... and using (illegal, btw) Methedrine.
Maybe she's thinking, "Well, at least my husband's not a pedophile, like Rep. Mark Foley, or those Catholic priests" - small consolation, sweetheart.
(And we don't believe he threw the drugs away. Puhleeeezzzzeeee. Dude, you don't go to all that trouble and then THROW IT AWAY....) Watch for him to admit the drug use and go to rehab to hide out....(say Hi to Mark, Robin and Mel while you're there...)

He's resigned. The Rev. Ted Haggard agreed to resign as leader of the New Life Church after its independent investigative board recommended removal, saying he was guilty "of sexually immoral conduct."
"We, the Overseer Board of New Life Church, have concluded our deliberations concerning the moral failings of Pastor Ted Haggard," a statement from the church said. "Our investigation and Pastor Haggard's public statements have proven without a doubt that he has committed sexually immoral conduct."
A man describing himself as an escort told news media this week that Haggard, who also has resigned as president of the influential National Asssociation of Evangelicals, had been paying him for sex for three years.
Haggard immediately denied the allegations, but later acknowledged having paid the man for a massage and to provide methamphetamine.
