Cumberland County Freeholder and recent Dem party chair, Louis N. Magazzu took nude photos of himself and sent them to a woman online. After demands from fellow legislators, Magazzu resigned from office and had recently resigned as Dem party chair. He admitted he took the nude photos with his cell phone standing naked in front of a mirror. He sent the pics via email. Magazzu is still married, though he's been separated for two years, according to his attorney.

The 53-year-old Democrat sent the nude photos to a woman with whom he corresponded online. He says she requested the photos and that he didn't know she was “working with an avowed political enemy.” The woman sent the photos to magazzuwatch.com.....a website that exposes the underbelly of local politics.

The defining moment of this Nauseating Moment in Genital Exposure: Cumberland County Democratic Party co-chair Doug Long saying “I don’t think it’s unethical at all. It didn’t affect his ability as a freeholder,” and that the pictures were private and shouldn’t have a bearing on Magazzu’s political life.

So Doug, what about Magazzu’s monumental lack of discretion and judgment? What about the predator proclivities of an individual who would expose himself publicly? What about the sick self-aggrandizement of an individual clearly fixated on his private parts?

History is benchmarked by pace-making eras like The Iron Age---The Space Age, etc.

We, unfortunately, are living in The Age of Government Stupidity.

Cumberland County Freeholder and recent Dem party chair, Louis N. Magazzu

It's not every day that a dem gets in trouble and the media actually mentions that he's a dem.

I guess that's SOME progress.....

He's too stupid to hold any elected office.

Sounds like McGreevey.

Do you think the “avowed political enemy” was a Republican or a democrat?

Is the recipient the same woman who’s been fined $535 for being in possession of a baby woodpecker? It all makes sense now....

Several months ago, after the Congressman Weiner scandal broke, I posted pics of my "junk" on the Internet for all to see.

But after a couple weeks, people grew weary of looking at cylinder heads, motor blocks, and rusted out Chevys...

Garden State Democrat Louis Magazzu announced his resignation Tuesday after nude pictures he sent to a woman he had been corresponding with were posted on a Republican activist’s website.

At least two of the photos showed the Cumberland County freeholder’s crotch, two showed him dressed to the nines in a suit, and a fifth showed him waist up without a shirt.

The tawdry photos - taken in front of a mirror with a smartphone - are similar to those that led to Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Queens-Brooklyn) to call it quits in June.

Magazzu, a 53-year-old lawyer who had been an elected county official for more than a decade, apologized to his friends, family and constituents in a statement, but indicated he had been set up.

“I did not know that she was working with an avowed political enemy to distribute these pictures,” Magazzu said of the Chicago woman he corresponded with online with for several years but claims he never met. “I have retained counsel to determine what laws may have been broken by the unauthorized distribution of those pictures.”

Magazzu, who has five children, has been separated from his wife for about two years. He claims no government devices were used to receive or send the pictures.

"Naked on the Net"

Would be a great name for a rock album or song. My brother plays guitar in a band, I'll mention it to him....

On the other hand, exposing the nation’s Weiners appears to be a growth industry,

Naked politicians have no friends - just as wet dogs have no friends.
