What a frakin idiot! If a conservative gets caught the MSM will attempt to paint the entire conservative movement as being just like him. However, if a Democrat or Progressive gets caught doing the same thing they are celebrated. Whenwillthe idiots in Congress realize thatthe MSM and Dem party are is watching for any opening to divert attention fromtheir mission to bring sanity backto a government run amok?

Maybe it would have been smarter to do the opposite.

The “Craigslist Woman” was probably:

1. A journalist running her traps.
2. A foreign intelligence agency running their traps.
4. A political operative running traps.

Gotta wonder if the leftists are ENTRAPPING these guys in the same way their buds in the KGB use “Foxes” to compromise enemies?

I don't want to call this illogical or paranoid, but ...

Do either of you really think that that the most effective political "trapping" strategy would be to place an ad on a website open to the general public and hope that out of the thousands of readers and hundreds of respondents one of them might be a CONGRESSMAN?

(Who is also a Republican ... and married ... and willing to send an identifiable picture from an identifiable email address.)

The guy entrapped himself.

Bill Clinton was celebrated for his depravity with a White House intern and history of sexual predation.

This guy sent a shirtless photo response to a personal ad? The horror! The guy's a class-A jerk and will be held to account but this sort of overreaction plays right into Dem's hands. I don't know if he is a genius for getting now, avoiding a distraction for the House, or a fool for making it the standard.

I'm sure his district is flush with funds for a special election in this economy. (/sarcasm) Better hope like hell his seat doesn't flip in retribution.

If I were an amoral tabloid journalist I would work craigslist HARD. Never know who might respond in Washington. Wouldn't Care is it was a D or an R. I would just want a great story.

Barny Frank is still there because he is an honest queer. This guy is a hypocritical “family man”. I have often thought that Edwards ruined his presidential chances because he didn’t quite feel he could do the job and was being pushed by his wife to run. Perhaps this guy felt over his head in the job or something like that. Does anyone know who his likely replacement may be, or the politics of a replacement election in his district??

America is very forgiving, except for cases of hypocrisy. That’s why a story about energy usage by a Republican is not news, but Algore’s is.

DC is crawling with young things in ardent pursuit of a Congressman, any Congressman. It’s a ‘power attracts’ thing.

So, again, why go to Craigslist and pretend to be a lobbyist?

Yet had he been a Dem it would be a badge of honor this scandal.

rats do not resign from scandals - - they leave office involuntarily only when they are indicted, and even then, not always. It takes a sense of shame to resign the way Lee did. Democrats, by nature, do not have any shame. Look at that nut, former Congressman Grayson from Florida. Perfect case in point.

I hope he doesn’t have any teenage children. How embarrassing.
