Via TPMMuckraker: Ted Haggard Swaps Wives With Gary Busey On Celebrity Wife Swap.
Former New Life Church pastor and self-described “bisexual” Ted Haggard swapped wives with actor and self-described “church” Gary Busey for the ABC reality show Celebrity Wife Swap.
And the most shocking part? That Wife Swap is still on TV.

So, how did they swap?
And gay marriage – not Wife Swap, not The Bachelor, not The Bachelorette, not Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire, etc, etc – yes, GAY marriage, is what is destroying the institution.

So wait, did Ted Haggard swap his wife for Gary Busey, is that what I’m reading? The ‘self-described church’ snark is throwing me off.
