[Vision2020] Scandals

[Paul Rumelhart]

So responding in sexually-explicit ways to an underage staffer is 
somehow ok if it's really a joke that's being played on you?  How is 
this an improvement?  Now he's both creepy and stupid at the same time.

Anyway, he's resigned.  That should be the end of it as far as I'm 
concerned, at least from a political standpoint.  This arguing about who 
knew what should stop.
