Another update

In an interview with MSNBC, influential US evangelist Reverend Ted Haggard has admitted to purchasing illegal drugs from a male prostitute, but denied using them.

Haggard also admitted to leaving voice mail messages for prostitute Michael Jones and receiving a massage from his accuser. He contended that he first met the man through a hotel referral for a masseuse.

However, Jones contended on MSNBC today that even that portion of Haggard's story could not be true. "I only advertise in gay publications and on gay websites," he insisted.

"We got together about once a month for about three years," Jones said. "I only found out who he was about six months ago."

Jones also produced envelopes from Haggard correspondence on air.

A lie detector test Jones on KHOW radio this morning found "deceptions" in his answers.

However, test administrator John Kresnick indicated afterward that he doubted the accuracy of the test, given the stress on Jones is currently under.

And Clinton didn't inhale.

Since Jones is trying to play it like he's not a drug user, I don't doubt there were "deceptions" in his answers, but since we're not being shown the questions and answers that were "deceptive"... hmmm...
