Texas Congressman Joe Barton released a statement Wednesday apologizing for a graphic nude photo of him that circulated on social media earlier this week. He announced his re-election bid earlier this month.

U.S. Rep. Joe Barton, R-Ennis, released a statement on Wednesday apologizing for a graphic nude photo of him that circulated on social media earlier this week.

"While separated from my second wife, prior to the divorce, I had sexual relationships with other mature adult women," he said. "Each was consensual. Those relationships have ended. I am sorry I did not use better judgment during those days. I am sorry that I let my constituents down."

Barton, who announced his re-election bid earlier this month, is navigating in a political environment charged with emerging stories of sexual misbehavior in politics, in business, and in the media. The photo, which appeared on an anonymous Twitter account, set off speculation within Texas GOP circles about his political future.

In a phone interview with The Texas Tribune on Tuesday, Barton said he was deliberating that.

These people aren’t smart enough to be representatives of the US people. Or maybe they are.

Too much time on their hands. Looks like they do everything but legislate.

The photo somehow just appeared on TMZ. And this my friends is why women are never allowed in the mafia.

These are EXACTLY the types of vermin who are attracted to politics in the first place. Lucky us. The rest of the people are out earning a living.

How old is he? He should just bow out now and get his pension and social security. He’s probably paying alimony to his 2 exes, and maybe some extortion money along the way...

I'm stunned.

This is not a guy who should be texting nudes of himself for a whole universe of reasons, not the least of which is confirmed by looking at a picture

Demon possession is real folks!

Seems like God is un-masking the children of the evil one and exposing their deeds before a fallen world before the hammer of judgement falls down.

Expect more of this.

No good, if true (don’t know how dishonest the Texas Tribune is).

Career politicians tend to lose their sense of honorable stewardship and statesmanship and are presumptively corrupt.

We need honest and reliable non-politicians to clean up government, state and federal.

Not least of which is the unflattering angle.

I quit voting for this guy way back. Never did think he had an honest bone in his apparently “beautiful?” body.

#1: "What in the hell is going on with everyone??"

That's what I'm thinking. It makes me think that everyone is doing this kind of crap, including my neighbors. I'm starting to understand what Lot must have felt like. Where are all the normal people? Is the whole world completely debauched?
