Ted Haggard
The nation's evangelical movement takes lots of credit for boosting the current administration into office based on a campaign of morality. But every few years, even the evangelicals keep getting caught with their pants down...literally. This time National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) president Ted Haggard, who has been an ardent preacher against homosexuality, fell to allegations of keeping up a gay relationship with a male prostitute/masseur and using crystal meth with him as well. This cost him his pastorship at the New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colo., and he subsequently resigned as NAE leader.
