What Do You Expect Of Your Publicly Elected Officials?

Because we vote for the Person. You have to trust them.

This man invoked the letter of the law and ignored the Spirit of the Law. He is known for busting an international prostitution ring. The FBI looked at him because he was setting off all kinds of warning bells for shady money transfers. His personnel life interfered with his public duty. He lost the public trust. He threw it all away, every

thing he had built over his career, so he could get some pussy.

Cheating on your spouce... paying to break your marriage vows... I know it doesn;t bother everybody... but for some of us, that is breaking the ultimate trust. The prostitute thing just adds hypocrisy to his sins.

An oath breaking hypocrit... running your State government... yeah.. thats a good idea.

he was breaking the law - intentionally - and utilizing his public powers - intentionally - to cover himself.

that to me, makes him a criminal. His willingness to do personal business with a prostitution ring, also puts him in alignment with a criminal element as he rubs shoulders with them. Anybody who thinks a prostitution ring does not include a creminal element lurking around it is fooling themselves.

I blame Elected Officials for doing shit like this. Why do they have to carry perfect images? I don't think it will be remembered forever. For now, it will make headlines on several fronts, but to say I am disappointed in their integrity would be an understatement. For any one to accurately predict what they do in their personal life is their business. Nobody is perfect, we all have our vices. Simply put, the guy did the right thing - he resigned.

he was outed dude.

its not like he pro actively decuided to come clean and change his life.

he got popped. I dont see how "the right thing" factors in after that.

busted is busted.

I meant for his own sake. I think patronizing prostitutes is bad enough as it is.
