With all due respect, it is now five weeks since the just disappeared like a fart in the wind. Just how much time would you allow your representative if you knew absolutely nothing besides what some spokesman had to say? Would it matter to you that according to a report yesterday, we were told not to expect him back in his office until sometime after Labor Day?
He accepted a very high profile and powerful job to represent his constituents combined will all the access to the money, corrupt or not, because of his position.
As an employer, would you not be just a little more demanding of specific reasons why an employee just decided to take a one month vacation without notice or explanation and then be told it might be longer than an additional six weeks before he might come back?
He did not find himself in this position by no fault of his own. Instead, it was totally his fault and lack of personal responsibility that got him where he is now. Further, his other indiscretions landed him in the Pay to Play Blogo scandal and I'm sure that Blogo was not going down alone and somebody has the goods on JJJr. Then he gets caught in a rather insidious affair to top it all off.
An honorable man would step down and take his lumps, of his own doing, and figure out how to catch the next available on-ramp to start a new life, hopefully with a much more secure moral compass. Just like any one of his constituents would have to do.
Five weeks is plenty. 30 days inpatient, then get the heck in front of the camera. All objections on my side officially withdrawn. ;)
