"Affairs of State must take precedence over the....uhhhhhh.....the affairs of State."
His wife filed for divorce over this nearly two years ago.

Calling Bill clinton
Oh Hello.......just saying!
Another Anti-TRUMPER bites the dust by his own volition. How many does that make?
$400k? He could have done a lot better for that kind of money.
At least no one could call her a cheap whore.
This goober is quite the looker. It’s an obvious case of true love, especially if you loved the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz.
Naturally, he’s a Republican.
If he were a Democrat, he would not have to resign. Democrats have the advantage of having no morals. So being a lying cheat and a crook is of no moral disadvantage to them.
But Republicans are held to higher standards. And so when we fail at that higher standard - it is expected we resign in shame and disgrace.
Whereas - for a Rat - this is actually a resume enhancer.
The best station to listen to. They are all over it and the commentary is hilarious.
Typical power hungry old man.
Hope you enjoy your last few years in disgrace.
I suspect you will find without the title of “governor” very few younger women will be throwing themselves at you.
Should have enjoyed Beulah land with your wife instead.
Why doesn’t he just say he’s gay to get out of scandal like McGreevey did and all will be forgiven.
A Democrat wouldn’t have resigned, and would have been offered a high level position in a select congressional committee or the next Presidential administration. (See Barney Frank)
When Bentley ran for the governorship in 2010, he was an unknown dermatologist from Tuscaloosa whose biggest claim to fame was that he was Bear Bryant’s doctor.
Surprisingly, he made it into a runoff against Bradley Byrne (now the US congressman from Mobile). Bentley then openly courted the teachers’ union money and support in the runoff, taking advantage of the Republican Party’s open primary. He managed to win the Republican runoff and then destroy the Democrat in November (Ron Sparks).
He’s not really a Republican, and he’s definitely not a conservative. He was elected by being in the pocket of the teachers’ union.
Bentley is not resigning because of an affair. Everyone has known about the affair for years. The affair was the root problem but it is more complicated than that.
Bentley is resigning because the Alabama House has begun impeachment hearings over felony charges which stem from his relationship with his aide.
“Last week, the Alabama Ethics Commission ruled there was probable cause to believe the governor violated state ethics law and committed three campaign finance law violations.”
He is trying to make a deal to reduce felonies to misdemeanors. Bentley was a former doctor and a RINO and not a strong governor.
Bentley is resigning today at 5pm CDT ... not Wednesday as stated in this article. Kay Ivey is the state’s Lieutenant Governor and expected to be sworn in as Governor by 6pm today.
This story involves a Republican governor (Alabama) resigning in Alabama to avoid impeachment. Impeachment hearings began today.
Can we elevate this article to Front Page News or at least Extended News?
He should say “I’m deeply sorry for behaving like a Democrat politician. But a Democrat wouldn’t resign and I will, so you can see I’m not behaving that way any more.”
Who did he vote for in the Presidential election? Did he write in Egg McMuffin like Lindsey Graham did?
A proud, smirking Anti-Trumper. Adios!
So, I wake up and find another thread to ping y’all. I feel I need to scrub my keyboard and screen after articles like these.
You know, like Bill Clinton di-—wait, what?
Well. Bye!
