Rep. Christopher Lee resigned from office Wednesday just hours after a report claimed the married Republican congressman sent a shirtless photo of himself to a woman on Craigslist.

The New York congressman formally submitted a resignation letter to House Speaker John Boehner.

"It has been a tremendous honor to serve the people of Western New York. I regret the harm that my actions have caused my family, my staff and my constituents. I deeply and sincerely apologize to them all. I have made profound mistakes and I promise to work as hard as I can to seek their forgiveness," he said in a statement.

All funds appears to act as, allowed to achieve success...

Pretty funny really. And stupid.
He jumped before he was pushed.
I hope his wife 'deals' with him.

Since he signed up as "divorced" on the site do you think his wife will grant his wish?

She will whip the sh!t out of him.

*generic comment about politicians whoring themselves, for once, in a sexual context*

at least he can honestly claim "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"

and for an 88-year-old man, Christopher Lee is still in great shape

Shirtless photo of himself, some has taken Putin as a role model

A completely understandable comment if you live in the area

I wonder how many political careers have been undone like shirt buttons... oh, wait... I meant... by shirt buttons... oh, yeah, I guess that's not much better, is it?

Seriously - you'd think that politicos (well, anyone in the public eye, really) would have better damned sense than that.

Well at least he had the decency to acknowledge it and resign immediately instead of trying to weasel out of it somehow.

Apparently the woman who busted him found out he was really a married Congressman when she googled his name. He was claiming to be a divorced lobbyist (and several years younger than his actual age).

Sooooooo dumb. A public figure using the internet to seek adulterous liaison and lying about his vital stats to boot... did it not occur to him that a single search in Google would blow his cover?
