In the Old News Is So Exciting department, Freshman California Democratic Representative Katie Hill is resigning over evidence she engaged in a sexual relationship with one or more congressional aides in violation of House ethics guidelines on October 27.
Of course she played the victim card on her way out the door. “This is what needs to happen so that the good people who supported me will no longer be subjected to the pain inflicted by my abusive husband and the brutality of hateful political operatives who seem to happily provide a platform to a monster who is driving a smear campaign built around cyber exploitation.” Yes, your abusive husband made you have sex with one of your campaign aides and brush her hair in the nude.
And if you don’t want nude pictures of yourself showing up during a ethics scandal, one simple way to do that is don’t take pictures of yourself in the nude (or, for that matter, allow them to be taken). And especially don’t post them to a wife-swapping site. Check your 1040 form. There, under “Your occupation,” does it read “Porn Star”? If not, then allowing nude photos of yourself to be posted to the Internet probably isn’t in your job description. Especially if you’re running for congress. Especially if you can be blackmailed with said pictures.
And yes, the bong is probably inadvisable as well. Even in California.
Anyway, it gives me a chance to repost these tweets and add a few new ones:
The First Rule of Nude Congressional Hair Salon is you don't talk about Nude Congressional Hair Salon.

Let ye who has never brushed a congressional aide’s hair in the nude, taken naked bong hits, gotten an Iron Cross tattoo, and posted wife-sharing pics to a wife-swapping site cast the first stone.
Also, we’re gonna need more stones.

Following the resignation of disgraced Democratic Rep. Katie Hill on Sunday night, the 32-year-old posted a video to YouTube blaming “right-wing media” for her downfall. These people are incapable of taking responsibility for their own actions & stupidity. https://t.co/8VDel6Zpzd

Katie Hill resigned because she violated House ethics rules by engaging in a sexual affair with a staffer.
It wasn't because of naked pics.
It wasn't because she posted pics on wife sharing sites.
It wasn't a GOP-led coup.
It's not sexist. She broke the rules. Period.

Is the media gonna pretend that Katie Hill wasn't under investigation for having sex with staffers who she paid campaign funds to – a clear ethical violation?
Yes, yes they are.
