On Politics and Resignations

Gateway Pundit has published what I’ve been thinking.  I found the article so interesting, I’ve included some of text below. Have you noticed any differences in how Politicians handle their personal demons that have become part of the public domain? H/T to Gateway Pundit…

Craig’s Resignation Puts Focus on Democratic Klansmen, Creeps & Killer

Overheard at a coffee house last night:

Man 1: Do you hear about the senator who resigned after being busted in a men’s room in Minnesota?

Man 2: Yeah. That’s horrible. But, at least the Republicans resign… Did you hear about the guy busted with $90,000 in his freezer?… Yeah, he’s still in office!

Are we starting to see a pattern, yet? Maybe, this will refresh your memory some:

** Republican Rep. Mark Foley resigns from Congress after he exchanged raunchy electronic messages with a teenage boy. No crime was committed.

** Republican Majority Leader Rep Tom Delay steps down after allegations of conspiracy and money laundering. Some bogus charges later dropped. No crime was committed.

** Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) steps down after pleading guilty to lewd conduct.

** Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) answered an ad placed in a Washington, D.C. homosexual paper, the Washington Blade, by Stephen Gobie, a male prostitute. Gobie became Barney Frank’s live-in sexual companion, and was soon running a male prostitution ring from Barney Frank’s condo. Today Frank chairs the Financial Services Committee.
