At least he didn't drown her in an Oldsmobile and not report it until he sobered up!
They never are.
Hell hath no fury like . . .
I wonder if the mistress will now sell her story to the tabloids.
What an idiot.
Ah, extorted into the truth. Well sir you have my repsect. /sarcasm
Questions dog Umberg campaign
Records show he wasn't in Guantanamo as often as his campaign made it appear.
The Orange County Register, June 24, 2005
Last October, the wife of Assemblyman Tom Umberg lugged a cardboard cutout of her husband to a campaign fundraiser, like she had done many times before during the fall campaign.Tom Umberg could not be there, Robin Umberg told the crowd, because he was in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
But it's unlikely that he was there, according to phone records and e-mails obtained by The Orange County Register.
When asking for votes or raising money, his campaign rarely missed an opportunity to cite Umberg's assignment as an Army Reserve colonel helping prosecute terrorism suspects at the military base. It was an assignment that required him, under military rules, to abstain from political activity, even as he was running for the Legislature.
Umberg, a Democrat, won the election. His Dec. 6 swearing-in was announced by a press release that began, "Returning from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where he was serving as a Military Prosecutor"
But Umberg spent about 16 days of his four-month tour of duty in Guantanamo Bay, the e-mail and phone records show.
While he was on duty, Umberg spent most of his time in the Washington, D.C., area, preparing legal briefs and investigating suspects, earning acommendation for his work. He also attended dinners with politicians, watched baseball games, ran a 10-mile footrace and carried out an extramarital affair with a former Assembly staffer.

Umberg also faced questions about where he lived during last year's primary election. In 2003, when he decided he wanted to return to the Legislature, he and his family were living in a five-bedroom house in Villa Park in a heavily Republican Assembly district.
That October, Tom and Robin Umberg and their two oldest children rented and registered to vote at a one-bedroom condo in Santa Ana, the heart of a safe Democratic district.
More of that 'Old Fashioned Moral Leadership' from the Dems. I can't believe they say they're losing voters at a rapid pace! /sarcasm
What a doorknob.
What is so special about THIS DemoRat? They are all without morals and screw anyone they can, in more ways than one...just following the great example of PRESIDENT Billy...and, and, and, and, and.....
Well, I guess you have to give some credit to a crapweasel scumbag dem who is violating his oath by stchumphing someone of the OPPOSITE gender. Even though it was Orange County, the absence of a party designation made it pretty clear that tey were talking about a Republican. And, fortunately for him, as a scumbag dem, he'll be able to put this behind him without the shrill screams for resignation that would come from the sewers were he from the honest party.
Wow, what a winner she was. I give the guy credit for standing up to this psycho scorned woman. But he should resign for the other reasons in this thread, such as having his wife lie about his whereabouts during the campaign.
