New York Republican Rep. Christopher Lee has resigned after reports on Gawker exposed the married congressman for sending shirtless photos to a woman he met on Craigslist's 'Women Seeking Men' forum. The married Republican congressman described himself as a "divorced ... lobbyist" and "fit fun classy guy."
Lee's statement was read on the House floor.
"It has been a tremendous honor to serve the people of Western New York. 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 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."
The resignation is effective immediately.
Lee was first elected in 2008. The anti-gay, anti-choice western New York congressman steadfastly opposed repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and voted against the 2020 DADT Repeal Act.

He is kind of a hot daddy, though. I'd hit it. Too bad he's an antigay twerp. And, also, stupid to boot. Don't politicians know better than to cruise for sex online? With pictures? God.

If he resigned with "lightening speed" there is definitely more coming.

That is perhaps the best classic old school corn ball pose in the book ..."Look at these here guns" ...lol ... Did he think that pose would even faintly soak up panties ...lol ... What a nit wit ... What the hell with these guys? On Craigslist, wire tapping money from your account to cheap Jersey Shore hookers. I thought Republicans had CLASS AND MONEY ...LOL!!!!!!! ..

So glad you are into average looking, bitch titted, saggy azzed anti-gay pale faces who cheat on their wives.
The pickings must be slim in Witchita. Oh well, more hot, well built brothas and papis for me. Carry on, my "daddy-lovin" snow queens. CARRY ON!

@Sugah
Uh, since when is "hot daddy" synonymous with Playgirl model? And acknowledgment of the bangability of one older white guy in good shape makes someone a snow queen? Wow, someone's projecting. And bitter. SMH.

"bangability of one older white guy"
Oh were you supposed to be ... the TOP?
Child please. A mess!

Ok, so first I read on some blog that a 19 year old dude broke into a store just to use their computer to jack off and the cops caught him pants around his ankle and all.......now I'm reading about a politician who posted a face and body shot of himself on Craigslist AND to top it all he is married.
Technology.......good for some.....but uber evil for others.....smh
