GOP Congressman Lets It All Hang Out

His name is Christopher Lee (yes, like the actor who played in the Hammer films), he WAS a congressman from upstate NY who just resigned moments ago after the above photo surfaced on Gawker and he JUST MIGHT BE available now that his wife knows he was trolling the Internets for sex.

In all seriousness, what would make a man in public office who has to run every two years for re-election send that kind of photo to some stranger he met on Craigslist?

Interestingly enough, he seemed to care very much about this very issue - creepy people sending creepy things via the Internets - as it relates to children and schools.

Then he sent something creepy to somebody on the Internets.

Oh, well - good luck in the future, Congressman.

Good to see Family Values Republicans involved in another scandal.

Frankly they don't seem to be learning the lesson we all learned from David Vitter, the Family Values GOPer who regularly dressed up in a diaper to visit prostitutes and relieve a little, uh, tension.

He was exposed in public, but Vitter never admitted to anything, wouldn't talk about it, and just hung in their until he got re-elected.

For that matter, Governor Paterson here in NY did the same thing even though he was caught trying to talk a woman who had been beaten by his chief aide out of filing charges.

You see, the lesson for us all is ADMIT NOTHING, GO UNDERGROUND and RE-EMERGE AFTER ANOTHER BIG STORY HITS THE WIRES.

Americans, after all, have very short attention spans.
