...really this is not something I think needs to unfold as a public scandal...inappropriate as a public representative yes...but should it bring him down ? not so sure...even if he is a liberal and me being less liberal (and pro-life) I don't like to see mistakes of judgment bring people down to total loss & disgrace...I just hope the liberals would have as much grace for conservatives ...also I have compassion for him because he has a last name like mine that people make jokes about (I.e. weiner...weener...euphemism for penis...my name kok...cock..also a euphemism for penis ...)...live & learn..he repented...hopefully sincerely..after an initial attempt to cover up ..now let's get on with more important things..
