The man doth protest too much, methinks

Coy Privette, one of the most outspoken Christian opponents of immorality, has been arrested on prostitution-related charges in North Carolina. Mr. Privette has the distinction of the following titles and positions:
  • former trustee of the Christian Life Commission (now Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission), the Southern Baptist Convention's moral-watchdog agency
  • former trustee chair of the SBC's Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, N.C.
  • former president of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina
  • retired pastor
  • former state legislator (1984-1992) and county commissioner
  • strong opponent of liquor, gambling and illegal immigration
  • president of the Christian Action league, which lobbies legislators to consider a Christian perspective in pending legislation
  • former member of the National Consultation on Pornography
Not so coy is he.
