Yep. Now that more info is coming to light, all I can say is what an ass. He should just resign. I know that the other republicans are nothing to write home about, but what he just did is plain stupid. Committing adultery is bad enough, but to disappear for a couple of days is insane.

Someone on here wrote that if you disappeared from your job for a week with no notice and no way to be contacted, you'd be fired..... yet the initial comments by his staff and fellow republicans was something about stresses of the job and it wasn't illegal to take a vacation.... just that, excuses.

Lots of people have stressful jobs and lives - but they would not have the excuses made for them if they pulled this stunt.
