Garn's resignation comes days after confessing to hot tubbing with a 15-year-old in 1985, and later paying her $150,000 to conceal the story.

Seems like a very Alinsky-esque sort of thing, does it not? By this I mean "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."

Bill Henrickson would make a good replacement, but what is up with those three women hanging around him all the time?

Sorry, but being nekked in a hot tub with a 15 YO girl and then paying her 150K to be quiet sounds more like Polanski than Pubbie...

That would be him nude in the hot tub When he was 30 and married and she 15. Very dangerous regardless of the reason. He misleading a minor or her the precocious teen. I don’t know, but I ain’t sitting in judgment of either one.

Well, that piece of information will keep the number of comments on this thread to a minimum.

Of course he is. He resigned.
If he was a rat, it would have been a naked 15-year-old boy in the tub with him and he would be cruising to a landslide re-election.

I think with the battle over healthcare, there will be a lot of people exposed on both sides, as each tries to whittle down the votes of the other.

I put nothing past Pelousy, anyway. The more Repubs she can smear, the better for the dems.

But he's running for the state senate not the state house of representatives.

Probably not in Utah, however.

...And a pervert to boot!

He pulled the same trick that Polanski used, alcohol and no swim suit needed.
