Hello everyone,
As this is my first post I wanted to just jump right into the political scene. For many of us, Craigslist is used to buy and sell books, furniture, and other items of a relatively normal nature. However, some people think that Craigslist could be more properly used as a website to pick up girls. That fortunate person is Representative Christopher Lee of New York, and he gets the honor of being the first person to ever be mentioned on TheRightPath blog.
For those of you that do not know the story, Christopher, a husband and father, decided to respond to a woman's request for her 'soul mate' and after some initial communication, sent a picture of him shirtless to her (I guess Congressmen in our current economic climate just have a lot of time on their hands). The woman decided to then google his name to get more info on the guy (Again, great move, but come on your searching for men on Craigslist, I think you lost that privilege). After discovering his profession she then turned him in to a gossip website who broke the story, making it front page news of the New York Times, and forcing him to resign (I guess he is the exception to the rule that all press is good press).
But, according to the New York Times, 'before Mr. Lee resigned, Gawker reported that a spokesman for him had responded that the congressman believed his computer had been hacked into.'
Now since other politicians usually spend years defending their name from stories like these, I am going to assume that there was no hacking involved. But, you guys can make up your own minds (cuz we all know that Congressmen love to run in political races the take up all their time, spend tons of cash, and earn one of the most prestigious positions in America, only to have to give it up over a prank).
So in conclusion I give this Congressman the award of the most ridiculous story of the week (yes that will be a recurring theme on this blog) for having no foresight into the consequences of doing this kind of stuff. But there is some good news; with all the time he has now, maybe he will be able to use Craigslist the proper way to sell his autobiography titled 'The Worst Mistake of My Life.'
Who has time in our hectic lives to read through massive newspapers to find the one or two articles we actually care about? That is where I come in. It is my job to provide you with the news that every Republican must know. If we are going to take back the White House in 2012 we must be able to inform our peers of the political situation, and to do that we ourselves must be knowledgeable. So please read, enjoy, and comment on all the articles posted.
