Doing the opposite of family valuesMissouri state House Speaker John Diehl (R) resigned from the legislature Thursday, just one day after The Kansas City Star published a report alleging that he had a sexually charged relationship with a college-aged intern.
"For the good of my party, the caucus, and this state, I'm not going to further jeopardize what we have accomplished this year and what can be accomplished in the future," Diehl said in a statement, as quoted by the newspaper. "Therefore, I will be resigning the position of Speaker of the House and the office of State Representative in a way that allows for an orderly transition."
I just don't get why they get so sloppy when confidentiality and low key are vital for success......

Missouri GOP House Speaker Resigns Amid Intern Sexting Scandal
Missouri state House Speaker John Diehl (R) resigned from the legislature Thursday, just one day after The Kansas City Star published a report alleging that he had a sexually charged relationship with a college-aged intern.
"For the good of my party, the caucus, and this state, I'm not going to further jeopardize what we have accomplished this year and what can be accomplished in the future," Diehl said in a statement, as quoted by the newspaper. "Therefore, I will be resigning the position of Speaker of the House and the office of State Representative in a way that allows for an orderly transition."
When Mr. Diehl resigns, I will make a thread, just as I did when David Vitter (R-Diapers-LA) resigned after fucking a high-class DC madam.
Oh, wait. He didn't.
House Speaker John Diehl, arguably the most powerful lawmaker in Missouri, announced Thursday he will resign from office. His announcement came just a day after The Star revealed he’d exchanged sexually suggestive texts with a 19-year-old legislative intern.
Diehl, who will also step down from his legislative seat from St. Louis County, is expected to make the decision official Friday morning.
“I have acknowledged making a serious error in judgment by sending the text messages. It was wrong and I am truly sorry,” Diehl said in a written statement Thursday afternoon. “Too often, we hear leaders say they’re sorry but are unwilling to accept the consequences. … I am willing to face the consequences.”
Hours after Diehl announced he would resign, Republicans gathered to pick Todd Richardson of Poplar Bluff as the next House speaker. Richardson is the majority floor leader. His rise to speaker still requires a House vote, likely Friday.
No, that was the Cons who gave David Vitter [R] a standing ovation in the Senate when he returned following disclosure of his romps with whores.he resigned and wont' be reelectedanother politician from "the party of family values" resigns over- you guessed it
