Woo-Hoo!! CA SoS Shelley resigns!

Sounds interesting. Why not provide a little context while we are waiting for this WA business to play out?

CA SoS Shelley (D) took federal "Get out the vote" money and used it for partisan Democrat campaigning, plus other personal uses. He also blows up in meetings, berates staffers, etc. State legislature called him to testify and he sent an aide instead. Legislature was about to subpoena him to compel him to appear. Rumors were that he wanted amnesty and a promised job elsewhere if he were to step down. He resigned this afternoon, probably without any of the guarantees that he asked for.
