The decision to resign came as Durham spent his afternoon watching the Denver Broncos football team beat the New England Patriots, and in the wake of a Tennessean investigation into inappropriate text messages he sent to three women.

3. Soon...

I want to spend more time with my family and I've rededicated my life to Jesus

That's usually the way these things go.
If he were national it would be

The rancor of Washington D.C. brought upon by Obama has caused me to stray. I have rededicated my life to Jesus and will be spending more time with my family

4. It's about time! It sounds as if it took the prospect of a sexual harrassment lawsuit

to get the GOP leadership to finally hand him his hat. They didn't seem to think prescription drug fraud and using "his official letterhead to send a judge a letter asking for leniency in the case of a youth pastor who pleaded guilty to statutory rape and possession of child pornography" were beyond the pale. Good riddance to bad garbage!

5. Oh shoot. Sure hope he doesn't lose his day job though.

Party of ass hats. All the rest of the goper fools are snickering and covering their mouths, cause they know it doesn't mean anything, and they'll be in his shoes tomorrow. Pathetic scum bags.
