Is that concealer under his eyes?
I could easily be convinced that you are right. I guess I was thinking, perhaps cynically, that he could "survive" this better if he were single. Sometimes I spend too much time thinking like a politician rather than a human being...
LOL... I have that shirt.
A man with his money and means that does not know how to contact a european working girl is dumber than dirt. She would not have given a damn who he was as long as he had enough money.
OK, when I clicked on read more at Twitter.com, these were the bottom three tweats they certainly sounded like what I said. It’s her photo at the top. I guess she’s just “reporting”:

Won’t miss him a bit -— good riddance.
It can’t get much worse here in the Socialist State of NY
I missed the discussion, if he were single he couldn’t send a topless photo to a woman? If he were a single man I would think he could then send any photo he wants, topless for men is not exactly a scandal, nor is sending a photo to a woman.
Yes, I'm sure that's it. Bream is a reporter doing straight news at FNC, not commentary like Beck or Hannity. As such, she doesn't discuss her personal stance on political or news stories. But, it should be pointed out that Bream is a graduate of Liberty University. If you're unaware, that's the university that was founded by Jerry Falwell - it is an apologetically Baptist, and EXTREMELY conservative school.
It would strain credulity to believe that Bream herself is anything but pro-life, even if she doesn't say so on air.
Bream is also represented Virginia in the Miss America pageant, and I believe she has a a JD, as well.
If that’s an example of his judgment, good riddance.
Thank you for all the info. Regards.
To me the issue is more the appropriateness of a sitting US Congressman behaving this way. I said that he could “survive” this as a single man because he can make the case, nowadays, that he can have a personal, private life.
But there is still something unseemly about someone at his age acting like a 20 something kid, especially in his political position. Even if he were single. I think many would call for his resignation but he might survive. That was my point.
But since he is married, resignation is a no-brainer.
Ew. Glad he resigned. Dumb and icky who I want representing me in Congress.
Cameron is a fair weather conservative.
When Palin first hit prominence, he did a rant on Fox dissing her viciously.
“How dumb is this..a craigslist date? I think this was an “I want out” call for help or some sort of a “we need you out” setup. Nobody is that dumb. I find this very hard to take at face value”
Maybe this is a brokered “outing”...the real reason is far worse and would hurt the innocent? Someone made him an offer he couldn’t refuse?
Newspaper style sheets dictate that party affiliation for Republicans caught in a scandal must in the headline, the lead and the wrap-up.
You may be onto something. There may be another photo that wasn’t released because he cooperated.
Now *this* is surprising.
Very Republican district; we will hold it unless Tom Reynolds tries to make a comeback.
It's the ONLY mantra the MSM holds to...
I miss the good old days before the internet became popular when a sleazy politician would have to settle for getting it on with his intern.
Met a tramp on craigslist and was cheating on his wife.
