GOP Rep. Resigns After He Sent Shirtless Photo to Woman on Craigslist

[The Hatter]

The western NY congressman is gone, what more do you want? Democrats never resign. Remember Gerry Studds? He raped a male page (statutory rape anyway the page was 17) in 1983 but he received a slap on the wrist by the democrat majority and later a standing ovation when he returned to the House.

Wrong, and wrong.

The House voted to censure Studds, on July 20, 1983, by a vote of 420-3. Studds faced the Speaker who was actually reading the motion, with his back to the other members.[3] In addition to the censure, the Democratic leadership stripped Studds of his chairmanship of the House Merchant Marine Subcommittee. Studds was later appointed chair of the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries. Studds received two standing ovations from supporters in his home district at his first town meeting following his congressional censure.[4]

I don't know why he resigned. He could have changed parties since he was only a blowjob away from being king of the democrats.

um, that IS a slap on the wrist and the only thing he got wrong was "when he returned to the house" should have been "when he returned home"

This is actually being covered up bigtime. He actually sent the photo to Rand Paul.

Why do you think Fox is actively covering the story?

N.Y. Rep Resigns After Claim He Sent Shirtless Photo to Woman on Craigslist - FoxNews.com

Rep. Christopher Lee resigned Wednesday after a report claimed the married Republican congressman sent a shirtless photo of himself to a woman on Craigslist.
Earlier Wednesday Lee, asked by Fox News about the report as he was walking to his car, said he was not willing to talk about the issue, adding "I have to work this out with my wife."
The New York congressman left his office Wednesday after a report surfaced on the website Gawker claiming an anonymous 34-year-old woman was contacted by Lee after she placed an ad in the "Women for Men" personals section on Craigslist.
According to the report, he used a Gmail account, which was later deleted, to contact the woman, claiming to be a divorced lobbyist. Lee is married with one son. The article said Lee at first sent a normal picture of himself and then sent a "PG-13 muscle picture" -- the picture published by Gawker showed a shirtless man posing in a mirror.
"Thanks...so do you always send shirtless pics to women from cl?" the response e-mail said, according to the correspondence published online.
"Sorry. Its all I had," the sender replied.
Lee told Fox News he had not read the Gawker story and would not confirm whether he was the man in the photograph. Lee's office also said there would be "no comment from our office at this time."
A Lee spokesperson earlier told Gawker that the congressman believed he'd been a victim of hackers, noting that Lee sent a message to his staff about a security breach on Jan. 21 -- though the published e-mails were dated a week earlier.

aqua....do you believe that any politician who cheats should resign?

I believe any politician that betrays the principles on which he ran and which he stands, should leave office. In other words, if you are busted for being a phony, stop representing yourself as a man of integrity and work for someone who doesn't place a value on trust.

Yep not quite like if the guy was Charlie Sheen.

so clinton should have resigned?

That's right rdean, Republicans aren't smart enough to stash their cash ($90,000) in a freezer and get re-elected at the same time they are under investigation for it. If you want to make it partisan we can do this....

Please rdean, DO NOT post YOUR shirtless pic!
















Or if you feel you must, only show 6% of you.

If he had any principles or values he would have.

oh my...not this rightwing meme again.

[Mr.Fitnah]

Fox news reporting about a Republican ?
Nah never happened.

 

[The Rabbi]

Whatever happened to "It's just sex" and "everyone does it"?
Oh yeah, that's just for Democrats. His mistake was sending it to a woman and being a Republican. Had he been a Democrat and sent it to a man he would be chairman of the House Banking Committee.
