To the Editor;

I have lived in the United States for 34 years, 11 month, 24 days, 15 hours and 53 minutes and it never ceased to amaze me what  a bunch of hypocrites live around me.  All 300 millions of them.  It has been like a media “ shock and awe” since last night over the alleged affair between the esteemed White House connected Rev. Ted Haggard and a male gay prostitute.  Also, the allegations involve probable drug use and prostitution that the reverend vehemently denies.

            There is a sitting president who admitted to drug use, prostituted this country to foreign lobbyist and has been screwing every man, woman and child in the United States, Iraq, Afghanistan, Columbia, Palestine, Lebanon and tens of other nations in the name of  democracy and Judeo-Christian values” ….and no one dared raise their fingers against him.  Can some one tell me please why the fuss over a sexual relationship between two adult individuals when a sitting president is depriving millions of children from health care, food, educational facilities to support his dreams left from a youthful era of drug and alcohol abuse.  Could it be that the middle aged men and women in the media in the United States are jealous of Rev. Haggard because he found him a hunk that most of us overweight middle aged men envy for his stature. Give me a break and leave Rev. Haggard alone.
