JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Missouri House Speaker John Diehl apologized Wednesday for his "poor judgment" following a newspaper report that he had exchanged sexually charged text messages with a college student who was serving as a Capitol intern.
While asking for forgiveness, Diehl also appealed to his colleagues to retain their support as Democrats launched an effort to try to remove the Republican from the chamber's top position, which he was elected to in January.

The intern, if anyone was wondering, is a girl.
This is John Diehl the actor, not John Diehl the politician. He was Detective Zito in "Miami Vice."
There must be someone better in Missouri to take his job.
A college girl was getting flirty with HIM? Well, maybe he's charming ...
The Missouri House of Representatives has 117 Republicans and 44 Democrats. I'm sure the GOP could find a Speaker who's not there to meet college girls.
Do we get to read the texts that were simply “flirty rapport?”
They were “sexually charged” and “sexually suggestive,” too. Quoting popular song lyrics to one another?
Don’t be surprised at any dirt that might be dug up now to derail the right to work legislation.
then he definitely has to go.
It is bad. I feel sorry for his wife and children.

Being a Republican, he should be Drawn and Quartered, after the Crucifixion and the Firing Squad of course. Whatever, another Idiot who is too Stupid to Text. Somebody buy him a throwaway Secret Phone at Walmart.
One has to be flabbergasted that this guy is not familiar with the NSA’s SOP book!
The Sexually Charged Interns, with lead singer John “Ants in His Pants” Diehl & their hit text: “Show Me (Yours First)”.
She said, "Want a Lewinski?"
He said, "Ummm....ok."
The truth will never be fully available or make a real difference - might as well have fun with it....
Even Senate Pro-Tem Dempsey voted against RTW. Disgusting that even with Super Majorities in both Houses, Republicans cannot get enough votes to override Gov Nixon’s pending veto. And that was before this Diehl mess.
