Bloggers are quick to fling zingers about Baptist minister's arrest

From Tennessean staff writer Jennifer Brooks:
There are so many things wrong with this story, we'll let the blogs handle the commentary.
Baptist minister and Christian radio personality Tommy Tester was arrested in Johnson City, Tenn., last week after he was found intoxicated, dressed in a skirt and urinating in front of children at an area car wash, according to tricities.com and wtop.com.
When police arrived to cart him off, they say, he offered to perform sexual favors on them.
Instead, he was arrested and charged with indecent exposure and driving under the influence.
Tester, 58, is a minister at Gospel Baptist Church in Bristol, Va., and an employee of the Christian radio station WZAP-AM in Bristol.
The arrest was like Christmas in July for the snarky political site Wonkette.com: "You can just imagine the cops pulling up to haul off the preacher pervert and their utter disbelief when, instead of showing any shame or denying everything, he offers to" perform a sex act on them.
Not content to let an opportunity for a political swipe go by, the post goes on to inform readers, "Wonkette has been unable to determine his specific job title with the Rudy Giuliani campaign."
