I’m bummed out about it… he seemed to carry a bit more class about him that say, Huckabee.

that aside.. The more I hear about this, the more it seems to be that he had a mental breakdown of sorts..

To blow off his job and fly away to chase tail for a few days?

I think he was spinning two big plates and got to a point where he couldn’t spin them both. One fell.

I believe it’s because most people in politics have a streak of narcissism, some more than others. If nothing matters than “what I want right now” then career ending affairs become commonplace.

If we could only return to the government with the powers of the early 1800s we wouldn’t have so many problems as there would not be the power they have now. As it is, every election they should just pick names out at random, there is our government. We’d sometimes get the village idiot in high office but, wait! There’s Biden.
