Wait....What is this?
"NY GOP Rep. Christopher Lee resigns 'effective immediately' after claim he sent semi-nude photo to woman on Craigslist "

"More from Rep. Lee's statement: 'I regret the harm that my actions have caused my family, my staff and my constituents' "

http://www.breakingnews.com/

Send nude pics, get caught, resign.

Rape the country, start illegal wars, fuck over the poor, let people suffer and die over poor policies - and then you run on how proud you are of said policies.

But a nude pic will make someone resign?

Seriously?

" 'I regret the harm that my actions have caused my family, my staff and my constituents' "

The harm a nude pic did? How about the harm tons of other policies do (and not just talking about Lee here)?

If someone wants to resign do it because of all the people you have hurt outside of your family and friends, you know - like the harm done by voting for crap that has, and continues, to harm people all across the US.

When a nude photo causes someone/party members more shame than all of their wars and suffering they inflict things are really fucked.

4. Perhaps he recognized his hypocrisy and knew he had to resign
He was caught in his print laying about marital status. Once that hit "lamestream media" he would be a cooked goose.

7. Uhmmmmmmmm. Vitter and Ensign survived. There must be
something more than unfaithfulness. Just thinking
out loud.

8. Yes. This is the handy excuse.
Reminds me of Jim McGreevey here in NJ. He used his coming out as an excuse to resign, to distract the possible attention from ethics charges that were likely to blow.

Something big was hanging over Lee, and this was his excuse to cut and run, and hopefully prevent the need for the really damaging stuff from being know.

9. That's what I was thinking
It was exposed this morning and he resigned this afternoon.

That is serious damage control for a R.

10. I know, I just caught that. How sweet, eh? For a Repug to resign that quickly you know....
...he had to be running an underage donkey-fucking ring and the shirtless photo was the tip of the iceburg.

11. I always wonder when I see stories like this why they just don't
get a damn divorce if they're not happy with what's at home. Is divorce a bad thing in politics?
