Well I have to give credit where credit is due.

He did shrink Washington...there is one less Rep. as of this morning

OK. I'm not excusing his behaviour. One darned bit. He is an idiot. A fool. A moron.

But it just goes to show that even an idiot/fool/moron can get elected if there is enough money and political backing.

I really don't understand why he resigned. John Edwards cheated on his dying wife and has a love child and he is still trucking along like nothing happened.

I'm sorry...what office does John Edwards hold now?

If by "trucking along" you mean still breathing then you are correct..otherwise this statement seems misinformed.

OK ...I have to say it.

There are two issues here ..

(1) Infidelity, dishonesty, hypocracy

(2) STUPIDITY...I mean seriouslly???

He goes on Craigslist "women searching for men"???

He used his REAL name and the email associated with his FB account.

He sent her a picture of himself face prominently showing.

Explained he lived on Capital Hill

He claimed he was a "Lobbyist"...mostly true I am sure...39 years old vs 46..Lie ...Divorced..lie.

Talks about a "date" he just went on.

Honestly....WTF was he thinking? He doesn't look drunk or high in the Pic.

I am not sure which disturbs me more...the lack of morals or the fact that people this stupid get elected.

yall are great, and the comment s are still leaving me laughing....

@mods is there a place where we could nominate the most humorus post on ats... The dress one is good... so funny... most women would do the same thing

thank yall I needed that...


I also agree that their is a whole lot to this story.....A lot left out....

does any one know who his backers where....

Update:

Funny picture @ link.

Boehner's 5-week-old Republican majority, of course, benefited from Lee's exit and the distraction that largely departed with him. Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper, reported last summer that the Ohio Republican had warned Lee and other newer members of Congress to knock off their unseemly partying with female lobbyists.

A little known fact...

The first testicular guard "cup" was used in hockey in 1874,
and the first helmet was used in 1974.

It took 100 years for men to realize that the brain is also important.
