Dumbest Congressman Recuses Self from Politics

A married Republican Congressman from New York snapped a photo of himself shirtless and sent it to a Craigslist whore, or more likely, a dude pretending to be a Craigslist whore.

From Gawker here:

Rep. Christopher Lee is a married Republican congressman serving the 26th District of New York. But when he trolls Craigslist’s “Women Seeking Men” forum, he’s Christopher Lee, “divorced” “lobbyist” and “fit fun classy guy.” One object of his flirtation told us her story.

On the morning of Friday, January 14, a single 34-year-old woman put an ad in the “Women for Men” section of Craigslist personals. “Will someone prove to me not all CL men look like toads?” she asked, inviting “financially & emotionally secure” men to reply.

That afternoon, a man named Christopher Lee replied. He used a Gmail account that Rep. Christopher Lee has since confirmed to be his own.

Creepzilla. What kind of moron would use his own email address and photo to contact a woman on Craigslist? According to CraigsCrimeList, I think you are supposed to give fake names, email addresses and then attack the woman in a dark alley. Or, pose as a woman, lure a guy to a location and then mug him and leave him in a dumpster.

I really doubt this was a woman that turned the congressman in to Gawker. But Lee may be seeing divorce papers soon. Only Democrat wives stick around with a cheating husband to eat shit sandwiches in public.

The congressman’s PR office issued a nice apology to his wife.
