BREAKING: N.Y. Rep. Chris Lee resigns after Craigslist personals scandal
Quote : | "Washington (CNN) - Republican Rep. Christopher Lee of New York resigned his House seat Wednesday following a report that the married congressman had tried to meet a woman on Craigslist. "It has been a tremendous honor to serve the people of Western New York," said a statement by Lee posted on his website. "I regret the harm that my actions have caused my family, my staff and my constituents. I deeply and sincerely apologize to them all. I have made profound mistakes and I promise to work as hard as I can to seek their forgiveness."
The statement said that "the challenges we face in Western New York and across the country are too serious for me to allow this distraction to continue, and so I am announcing that I have resigned my seat in Congress effective immediately." Just before 6 p.m., an announcement read on the House floor said Lee had resigned as of 5 p.m. Wednesday and the number of the House members decreased by one from 435 to 434. Lee, who is married and has a son, resigned after the website Gawker published an item reporting he corresponded with a woman who posted a Craigslist ad and allegedly sent her a bare-chested photo of himself. The speed of Lee's resignation indicated a culture of zero tolerance by House Republicans for potentially controversial behavior so soon after winning control of the chamber for the first time since 2007. Lee was first elected to Congress in 2008 from New York's 26th district in the western part of the state, which includes suburbs of both Buffalo and Rochester. He won re-election last November." |

also adulteration. 2/9/2011 10:59:15 PM |
marlndarln All American 1859 Posts user info edit post |
well i was thinking just in general life terms. the adulteration is indeed a shitshow.
but i suppose i think of ways you would just meet someone under normal circumstances and bathroom foot tapping is not one of them. internet personals, maybe yes. 2/9/2011 11:02:00 PM |

Politicians don't have this luxury.
He can't oppress some groups on the basis of being a Christian family man, while being the exact opposite.2/9/2011 11:29:55 PM |

it's okay. He was just trying to make a point about why the legislation he sponsors (age limits for kids online at certain websites) is important! Gotta keep kids away from half naked adulterin congressmen. 2/10/2011 11:05:06 AM |

Quote : | " Rep. Christopher Lee is a married Republican congressman serving the 26th District of New York. But when he trolls Craigslist's "Women Seeking Men" forum, he's Christopher Lee, "divorced" "lobbyist" and "fit fun classy guy." One object of his flirtation told us her story.
On the morning of Friday, January 14, a single 34-year-old woman put an ad in the "Women for Men" section of Craigslist personals. "Will someone prove to me not all CL men look like toads?" she asked, inviting "financially & emotionally secure" men to reply.
That afternoon, a man named Christopher Lee replied. He used a Gmail account that Rep. Christopher Lee has since confirmed to be his own. (It's the same Gmail account that was associated with Lee's personal Facebook account, which the Congressman deleted when we started asking questions.)
By email, Lee identified himself as a 39-year-old divorced lobbyist and sent a PG picture to the woman from the ad. (In fact, Lee is married and has one son with his wife. He's also 46.)" |
what a dumbass.
trolling CL for strange, but using his real name and real gmail address attached to his real FB profile.
jesus
i would say he shouldn't have to resign Congress for his private affairs, but no one this incompetent should be taking care of the People's Business.2/11/2011 12:01:53 PM |
