Oregon’s Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber will resign this afternoon, multiple sources told Portland’s KOIN. News of the governor’s resignation comes after the governor was accused of using his influence to arrange contracts for his fiance’s green energy company and ordering the deletion of thousands of emails relevant to the scandal.

About time...

[TBP]

What for? He was just demonstrating the ethical standards of the Dhimmicrap Party.

Oregon’s Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber will resign

Are all Democratics so corrupt?

[Gaffer]

How and what in the hell can make a Democrat resign from office? I am perplexed.

[nascarnation]

There must be some reason much deeper than the gravy he has dispensed to his new squeeze. That's a GOLD STAR on Democrat report cards.

[gorush]

"Are all Democratics so corrupt?"

All Democrats and most politicians.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Here’s betting the mainstream Jurassic media’s report on the story never mentions his party affiliation......

[Vigilanteman]

In Pennsylvania our State Treasurer recently resigned because he had the audacity to run in the primary against our current governor and then refused to endorse him. That isn't the official reason, of course. The official reason is that he used his position to solicit donations for his unsuccessful campaign.

But most of us know the real reason is retribution.

That’s what I was thinking.

I’m heading to Salem shortly, I think I’ll drive by the Capitol and “wave” goodbye, ala “Sometimes A Great Notion” style.

Kinda fitting he’s gone the day before the founding of this state, in 1859.

[Colofornian]

I just don’t understand it...he could have pulled an “IRS” and buried much of the evidence at least for a while, right?

[Rusty0604]

Anyone better replacing him?

[grobdriver]

Heh.
That goes without saying.

I was underlining a pet peeve - there is no party called "Democratic".

[Buckeye McFrog]

On the other hand she looks pretty damned hot for a guy his age, so can you blame him?

[nascarnation]

I believe he’s a leading contender for the Bill Clinton Leadership Medal from the National Assoc of Democrat Governors and Legislators.

[Rio]

Anyone better replacing him?

Sadly, no. Probably worse ideologically, but perhaps not so corrupt.

[Zathras]

Blue Oregon had to take him out before he put the 2016 election in jeopardy.
Same thing the did with Wu a couple years ago.
Now they will put in another RAT stooge to continue the work with no chance of a GOP replacement.

[Rio]

Folks out here figure she’ll dump him once he’s no longer GOV. They’re not married. Just shacking up.

[CyberAnt]

YOU are correct.

It’s the DEMOCRAT PARTY .. but when the Repubs added an enhancement to the word DemocRAT .. the Dems decided to change it.

Thus, we have the Democratic “party” .. BUT .. nobody ever calls them the DEMOCRATICS .. do they ..?? They still say DEMOCRATS.

[bigmak007]

No, another dem.
I wish there was another in the mold of Tom McCall.

“Are all Democratics so corrupt? “

Answer: An unqualified YES!
Here’s hoping Preet Behara in NYC gets Cuomo to have to do the same thing (along with have the elected officials in that corrupt toilet of a state)! I guess this is what happens when your state is contiguous with New Jersey!
