I don't get it. Why do politicians put themselves in these situations? Why, WHY would you post a bare chested pic of your self in response to a Woman seeking Men ad on Craigslist, and putting your political future in the hands of whomever that ad is for?

Now you will note that I don't post in the Political topics too often, as politics just don't make much sense to me and I don't talk about what I can't fathom, but this is beyond the pale, especially with past history of staunch republicans getting themselves in hot water in various sex scandals, why would he do it?

If you don't already know the story, NY congressman Chris Lee responded to an online Craigslist ad (woman seeking men) with a pic of himself barechested. In and of itself, pretty non-threatening as sex scandals go, but the poster of the ad contacted none other than the gossip site Gawker.com and outed the congressman, his pics and behavior. He (a married man) was promoting himself as a divorced male looking for love. More info here: Congressman Chris Lee Resigns Following Gawker Revelation

And this from the person who warned teens about the dangers of the internet  ::) Do congressmen (& politicians in general) just not understand how the internet works?

Well at least he sent it to a woman.  ;D

Maybe people should learn to elect someone with an IQ greater than their bicep measurement (in furlongs)?

Do congressmen (& politicians in general) just not understand how the internet works?

I think we see evidence of that over and over (and over) again

DUUUUUUDE!  Cheesier than the pasta I just ate!

Hey, what's the big deal?  He ain't a bad lookin' man.  If we was in the joint together we could have some fun!
;D ;D ;D

At least it wasn't one of those sites where guys send in pics of their weenies...and he was on Craigslist to find himself a ladyfriend, not a hooker to kill!
:o

Hint for Mr. Lee: If you're classy, you don't use the word "classy."  Minor detail.

Well at least he sent it to a woman.   ;D


Ah, so that's it.  He's not a real Republican, he's a RINO: Republican In Name Only. :)

Wot? It's not like I asked you to picture Mitch McConnell doing jumping jacks in the buff!

DON'T think about John Boehner's orange penis!

Oompa-loompa-doompity-doo,
I DO NOT WANT and neither do you!

But this is a thread about Chris Lee, and the other big thing that happened this week, namely the Revolulzion 2.0 in Egypt, and to that end:

Couldn't help but notice in that it says "Sarah Palin, former AK governor" - she wasn't the 47th Alaskan governor, was she?

As someone who lives in the 29th district with Eric Massa this incident is rather tame. The main person he has to answer to is his wife and family.

Does anyone other than me see a slight resemblance to Dana Carvey???http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ7wItdhjnS4fytlNL5B3GFq-LSkovBgkntfdmqXUfbqBMC6cN6Jg

Isn't that special? ;D

Ah, so that's it.  He's not a real Republican, he's a RINO: Republican In Name Only. :)
No, he has  a conservative rating of 88 according to American Conservatives Union. He is a conservative and not a RINO.

And his actions are certainly consistent with conservative family values, right?  He just got caught.

(It's cool, I was only joking - either that, or it really was the heterosexuality that cost him the 12 points? :)

Oh, he's married.  In that case, he's a gross pig -- but at least he resigned.
