I say Pennsylvania's Governor Corbett will leave office in 2 years or less after he has a sex scandal.
Corbett had been criticized for supporting one of the most restrictive anti-abortion bills in the country because he said that women could just "close your eyes" during the mandatory ultrasound.
The bill was eventually shelved by the state House, but Corbett recently told The Seattle Times that he still supported the measure.
"I said, you can't make somebody watch it," the governor explained. "You can put the monitor in front of them but you can't make them watch it."
"I think we have over 30,000 abortions a year in Pennsylvania," he continued. "When you see that kind of number, if an ultrasound, which is not invasive at all, would convince somebody maybe to carry that baby to term and give it up for adoption and save that life, I think thats the way to go."

Corbett is corrupt to the core.
