Politicians, Congressman have done worse. He did a stupid, thoughtless, selfish thing that’s going to hurt a lot of people, and he’ll need to do a lot of praying or other soul-searching to understand that, it seems from this distance. Maybe his wife can forgive him, maybe he’ll be able to save his marriage and make sure his son has a father he can eventually respect, maybe his electorate will find they’re better off without him and his replacement will be more responsible and considerate. I wish everyone involved the best.

Also, then Gov. Paterson screwed NY-29 out of s special election for months after Eric Massa resigned. The district ended up going without a vote for over 400 roll call votes. It’ll be interesting to see what Gov. Cuomo does about calling a special election for Lee’s district.

If the photos upstream are indicative, clicking on the links and reading the stories could be distasteful.

There's a local website that has a political forum that I participate on that has a couple left wing loonies who will be having a field day with this.

It's one thing condemning the dems for this crap but then having this crap thrown back in my face is another...........

My only defense is to comdemn this monkey as well as any and all the other Repubs that throw our support into the gutter by this type of behavior.......

Is this how far we’ve sunk? We are at point that there aren’t any folks running for office or present day office holders that have even a shred of morality about them? They all make me sick. Both sides of the isle and those in between.

There are no words to adequately describe what a dumbsh*t this guy is. Can you imagine being his kid and wondering what the hell kind of brains you must have got from that genepool? Hopefully, the kid got his intelligence from his mother.

I find what he did less offensive than

I find it worse considering he was put in office to undo what Obama has done............

So now we have to put up with the "Republicans are hypocrites" arguments with nothing to defend ourselves with.

I’d be skittish about buying a used car on Craigslist, and this guy is trolling for chicks there? He’s a Congressman. He’d have no trouble getting some play in DC. And he’s got to go on freaking CRAIGSLIST?

But why is Barney Frank still there, and revered by some no less?

Barney Frank is relatively innocent when compared to what Ted Kennedy got away with.

If he did the stuff he is accused of doing, we are well rid of him.

Now the question is, who can run in that district? Any good CONSERVATIVES available?

He’s too stupid to deserve to serve the people. He actually didn’t think no one would find his photo on the internet?!

True. Sometimes one doesn't think precisely when coming up with a quick reaction.
