Why is everyone so concerned? I mean, really!? Who gives a rats ass what anyone does behind closed doors? Ok, he was a bit of a dork to send a picture of himself but why care? It's between him, his wife and his girlfriend(s).

What makes this funny is that in most other civilized countries people turn a blind eye to the escapades of their elected officials unless it's adversely affecting the duties of their office/position.

Seriously, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of people having affairs everyday. Some are CEOs of major multinational companies. Do we care? No. So why care when a politician does it? As long as his work is not affected (or he's using tax $$$ on gifts, trips, etc) I don't give a shit.

Several things bug me about this incident on of which is the fact he has a young son. I am far from puritanical in my views but what will his son have to go through because of it? Kids can be downright nasty. And, I can't believe that on Craigslist he took a picture showing his face and using his actual name! Not too swift a move.

He also told the woman on Craigslist that he was "divorced". Maybe he can see into the future? Hopefully that won't happen but you wonder what his wife must be thinking now!

Again, I don't really care what people do behind closed doors, either. What I DO care about is integrity. If you want to spout your family values crap, by all means. But if you get caught being a hypocrite, your ass should be shamed in the court of public opinion. Again, it has nothing to do with the act itself, it's the fact that he was a liar and a hypocrite.

Sorry, but I feel that I have to make myself a little clearer in regards to why this congressman should have resigned. As I've mentioned before, it has nothing to do with the sexual act itself. The problem is that this man, who supposedly espoused the right-wing values of the GOP, was in a place of power to vote on and create laws that could take away people's rights based on these right-wing values while he runs around breaking those very values by cheating on his wife with Craigslist hook-ups and who knows what else. Not only are his actions as a politician disingenuous, it is also fundamentally amoral to espouse such beliefs that effect the lives of his constituents while he writes himself a free pass to do whatever he wants in his own life.
