Dear Democratic politicians:

[pnwmom]

If you're going to fool around sexually, please avoid cameras and ESPECIALLY don't get involved with young staffers.

Unless you don't mind a little blackmail or revenge porn.

18. (a) A Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner may not engage in a sexual relationship with any employee of the House who works under the supervision of the Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner, or who is an employee of a committee on which the Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner serves. This paragraph does not apply with respect to any relationship between two people who are married to each other.

1. but if you're a republican....

just deny, then admit, then ask for forgiveness....and continue to serve...

[pnwmom]

2. If a R President says he could shoot someone on 5th avenue without consequences,

that's what a D President should say, too?

[dhill926]

13. um, not at all what I implied...

[pnwmom]

14. Okay, so you don't think a D should follow a R's example.

And I assume you agree that the House should be enforcing its ethics rules.

[dhill926]

15. it's a beautiful Sunday...

and I don't feel like arguing with you. Seen this schtick before on DU....tiresome...

3. Difficult to deny if

cameras were present. That is the key point OP is making.

[pnwmom]

6. Yes -- you're just asking for blackmail or revenge porn. n/t

4. Yep, that's what thuglicans do.

And they're damn successful at it.

And to think, thuglicans don't give one fuck if you DIE because they don't want you or other folks who need health care/medications to have ANY, and they keep themselves in office and don't lose one ounce of sleep over anything wrong they do.

You know, I lost a friendship with someone who in essence said that Dems must be above board. Be moral and ethical. I said I agree in principal, but thuglicans want to take away your health care/expensive medication, and they DON'T give one red fuck if you die. She said she has morals and ethics, unlike myself. I said okay, I hear, you. Hope you can get a moral and ethical thuglican to go pick up you your expensive medication (s) and then loan you money when you fall short with grocery money my dear.

I haven't spoken to her in almost 2 years (And am not), and we'd had an almost 30 year friendship. her niece that I do speak to occasionally says she's had it almost up to here with her own aunt.

9. If a Republican slept with a staffer right now

They’d be as screwed by the Ethics Committee as Hill was, don’t you think?

[StarfishSaver]

5. Duh

[SMC22307]

7. Seriously. I just popped on over to the Daily Mail...

saw the nude bong pic, read the angst-filled texts, learned all about the Iron Cross tattoo and "fuck my wife" website. What a *bleeping mess.

[pnwmom]

8. Yes, it's a mess. And she brought it on herself. Too late to play the victim

when she allowed photos of her breaking House rules by getting involved with a staffer.

[SMC22307]

10. After everything I just read, I'd have to agree...

although my initial reaction was to feel sorry for her. Her husband is scum but she's not too bright to be "playing" for the cameras.

[RhodeIslandOne]

11. I hope her husband is prosecuted and sees jail

Despite her bad behavior, I look forward to him being imprisoned, don’t you?

[pnwmom]

12. If he's the one who did it. Another possibility is the jilted staffer. Or both. n/t
