How much do you cost a night?
Snort some candy up your nose
and put your tongue-tip on my rose!

Rentboy, rentboy, you’re so sweet!
come and do me when I tweet
Do me when I come to town
In and out and upside-down!

I can't see him giving up that sugar tit willingly, even though the FRC has already cut their ties to him. Much depends on two (2) things: His intelligence, and his relative placement of comfort and riches over self-honesty in what passes for his own internal values system. If he was both smart and venal, he'd have immediately pulled a Ted Haggard: The tearful confession, the promise to undergo "pray away the gay" treatments, and the lying low for a few months until he could re-emerge, Haggard-style, and step back into his old, lucrative lifestyle as if nothing had happened. But while he is very likely venal, he's not particularly smart -- because he obviously doesn't realize what he needed to do to preserve his long-term career and his long-term cash flow, and the window of opportunity for him to do the Haggard trick before his career is irreversibly destroyed is shrinking fast, if it hasn't slammed shut already.

How many faulty marriages is he responsible for with his preaching about ex-gayitude? How many suicides on his watch? Will any of the public entities (Florida is one) who paid this man to defend their anti-gay adoption laws seek to recover his ill-gotten gains? Why should taxpayers fund his fun? What a freak show.

What a freak show.
