Really? You needed it that badly? Congratulations, you’ve tossed out your entire career, because unlike those holier-than-thou conservatives who like to apologize, beg forgiveness of god and public, cry a little, then go back to business as usual, you’re going to claim an ethical lapse and…actually, finding religion and coming back as a (temporary) independent or conservative is your best bet. Get on it.
It’s so much more fun when Republicans are outed for their indiscretions, isn’t it?
