The mentality of our Congress is juvenile. Good riddance.

Generally when Senators (not Congressmen) leave office during a term, they are subject to a replacement by appointment under their state's laws and then that replacement is replaced in a special election or the next regular election for that six year post.
Congressional Representatives, such as Lee, are sometime replaced in a special election called if their is a long portion of their term left, or if the portion is brief, the post can be left vacant for a month or two. I imagine that a special election will be called in the next two weeks if he has officially resigned.

What IS it with these dimwitted political types who can't seem to control their johnsons.
First, there is not enough penicillian coverage on my insurance to even think about a gal off "craigslist" in the first place.
These idiots need to be censured, tarred and feathered, and run out of town on a rail...democrat OR republican.

My question too. Was he cheating on Craigslist? What does that mean? He did not pay his bill? Sold a broken lawnmower?
To: VRWCTexan
Well, I’m none too happy about the double standard that penalizes only Republicans for moral outrages. Still, I’m glad he resigned. We don’t need a doofus like that in office.
What are the chances we can elect another Republican in this district? The NY State legislature is closely balanced, so this really matters.

GEESH! We had such hope with him representing us - we lived in that disctrict until last October.
I sure hope the TeaParty folks there can get someone to run for the special election. They certainly don’t need another Dem from WNY!
To: tsomer
Congressmen can only be elected. There will be a special election.

He sent a
shirtless picture of himself?
He should have photoshopped his head onto a picture of Vladmir Putin.

You are totally free to ignore -
However, FNC reporter Shannon Bream, and many other verified news accounts on Twitter, typically break major news stories 10 to 15 minutes ahead of the wire services like AP.
If the FR admins object to the initial sourcing, they are free to remove the thread.

The “Craigslist Woman” was probably:
1. A journalist running her traps.
2. A foreign intelligence agency running their traps.
3. An opportunist.
4. A political operative running traps.
In any of the above cases the Congress critter was an idiot.
