ABOUT THIS BLOG
"Readback" refers to the final stages of any Newsweek piece, as reporters and editors trade comments about how to make each article we run the best possible. But even after a piece lands in print or goes live online, that doesn't mean the story is over. This blog will call attention to the most interesting, amusing and insightful conversations that are happening in response to the news and Newsweek's stories. It will be updated daily to include viewpoints from reporters, editors and, most importantly, readers.

On Speaking with Ted Haggard
Kurt Soller
Speaking out after two years,
Ted Haggard spoke with NEWSWEEK's Tony Dokoupil
last week mainly about his battered faith and confused sexuality. But beyond the rehearsed answers on those issue, he also leavened two phone interviews with wry one-liners and self-deprecating wit. When asked about how his neighbors responded when a male prostitute went public in late 2006 as Haggard's lover, he quotes a Hallmark card: "A friend is one who knows all about you and likes you anyway." Later, he professes a weak streak for fast food, admitting with intentional innuendo "sometimes I still cave to temptation." Two beats later he added: "make sure you get that quote in the right place."
