He can't resign. Politics are all this guy has done since college. If he walks away now he won't be able to get back in.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

The wisest thing David Cameron ever said 'too many tweets make a twat.'

Possibly the only wise thing he's ever said.
Let's bomb Russia!

Don't most politicians have staffers tweet for them rather than tweet themselves.

:yes:

I don't believe it was actually Vince Cable himself who was following my tweets during last years general election.

Slow news day? This is somewhat embarrassing but he didn't even tweet his naked junk, just boxers.

Turns out he's tweeted his junk to several women in the last few months and some of them were sans boxers.

Although Marti was right from the position that this likely would have remained minor news if he hadn't handled the press so poorly.

As far as candidate George Lepp, Time just finally caught wind of the story. :rolleyes:

It didn't look particularly awful or anything.

Shame.

He did nothing illegal.  The Dems just lost one of the few prizefighters in the House willing to take the fight to the GOP and the Teabaggers.

This will come back to haunt them.  Big mistake.

It seems one of my kindred spirits attended his resignation press conference. :lol:
