Because I Had to Stop Watching the Miner's Vigils for a Moment...
... I found a fun bit of Fundamendalist Hypocrisy via a diarist at Kos, and thought I'd share here: Anti-Gay Baptist Leader Arrested for Soliciting Gay Sex. Oh, this is beautiful.
OKLAHOMA CITY - An executive committee member of the Southern Baptist Convention was arrested on a lewdness charge for propositioning a plainclothes policeman outside a hotel, police said.
Lonnie Latham, senior pastor at South Tulsa Baptist Church, was booked into Oklahoma County Jail Tuesday night on a misdemeanor charge of offering to engage in an act of lewdness, police Capt. Jeffrey Becker said. Latham was released on $500 bail Wednesday afternoon.
Latham, who has spoken out against homosexuality, asked the officer to join him in his hotel room for oral sex. Latham was arrested and his 2005 Mercedes automobile was impounded, Becker said.
Calls to Latham at his church were not immediately returned Wednesday.
But the best part was the good pastor's defense: a page pulled out of Mayor McCrackhead Marion Barry's 1990 copout!
When he left jail, he told Oklahoma City television station KFOR:
"I was set up. I was in the area pastoring to police."
Yes, that's right... the bitch set him up. Ahahahahaha! Okay, okay, whatever. I'm sure the church will forgive him... hell, Mayor McCrackhead got his job back, so this guy probably will too.
