I hope he is never again in a position of any authority whatsoever. He has so completely disgraced himself and deserves no consideration from any decent person.

I am trying to find the words to describe my contempt for this man but I am failing. He so thoroughly betrayed this state that 22 of his Republican colleagues had to kick him to the curb, and they would do nearly anything to protect one of their own. Apparently you can fuck over your constituents with impunity but once you’ve endangered the legislature you’ve gone a bridge too far.

Can he be sued for reckless endangerment or some such thing?

PILE ON the headaches for this schmuck!

He used to be a dishwasher, gravedigger, and taxicab driver.
No wonder people in his district voted for him. The local dog catcher wanted to spend time with his family.

he told them his cell number and the area they could get in.

I hope he spends a a couple months in the penitentiary to truly learn what he did was wrong and we were lucky somebody he did not get someone hurt.
