Good God, what *was* he thinking?

Rep. Christopher Lee, married member of Congress, resigns his seat after his Craigslist postings surface.

What gets me isn't that he was actively looking to cheat. It's that he used his real name and photograph and thought no one would figure out what was going on.

Unbelievable.

There was someone else among the Democrats, Spitzer, I think his name was? Made a name for himself busting prostitution rings as a D.A., became a mayor or Lt. Gov. or something, and got his ass busted with a $5000 a night call girl.
Still, I think the sleaze level tends to be more embarrassing in the Republican cases. And they rarely resign, whereas Democrats usually do.
