>OK, but then why plead the 5th? Just go out there and tell the truth. Solyndra had a legitimate business strategy that got government assistance but didn't pan out. That really isn't anything to be embarrassed about, especially around here. > You think they're afraid because they're being vilified for getting government assistance? Not in Northern California, I can tell you that. No, it's that these guys have the mark of running the only company in that green energy loans package to fail. Getting that said over and over on TV isn't going to help them get their next jobs. -Z

Ted Haggard to Appear on Celebrity Wife Swap AND HE'LL TRADE MATES WITH ... GARY BUSEY By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Sep 22, 2011 8:48 AM CDT (NEWSER) – In possibly the weirdest news you’ll hear all day, sex-and-drug-scandal-plagued Ted Haggard is going on the celebrity edition of ABC’s Wife Swap reality show … and will swap partners with Gary Busey. Yes, in case you’d forgotten, Haggard still has a wife—despite the fact that he admitted paying for meth-fueled sex with a male masseuse in 2006. The probably-bisexual pastor now runs a nondenominational church in Colorado, and Busey is apparently a good match for him: The born-again actor is involved with Christian men’s organization Promise Keepers. However, Busey bizarrely has no wife, just a girlfriend with whom he has a child. Producers haven’t said whether she’s the swapee or not, People notes, but the Colorado Springs Gazette reports that she is. Busey, of course, has slightly more experience than Haggard with reality TV, having already appeared on Celebrity Rehab and Celebrity Apprentice. But Haggard, who is apparently trying for a second career in entertainment, has appeared in a Christian “sex comedy.”
