Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages . . . I give you the dumbest politician in the history of American government:

Wait! So this dude DIDN'T sleep with anyone, DIDN'T misuse government funds, DIDN'T commit any crime outside of extreme tackiness... and he resigns?

Don't you think he would have slept with the woman if he had been giving the chance?

He was a married man with a child and he answered an ad in the women seeking men section of craigslist. He lied and said he was a divorced lobbyist and he lied about his age. He was dumb enough to give the woman a picture of himself and he was also dumb enough to give her his real name. Would you want someone like that representing your district in Congress?

I doubt that he is the only one in Congress who has an affair or two under his belt. I think the fact that he wasn't bright enough to pull it off without getting caught, and the fact of how clumsily he handled the whole mess certianly warrants a resignation. If he can't handle an affair without screwing it up, how is he supposed to represent the state of New York in Congress?

Pay no attention to cynical Sluggo. He's just jaded by yet another political scandal.
