Dear Editor,

What’s the question? The U.S. Congressman who has shown himself (in many ways) to be arrogant and a liar. What is all the questioning about whether he broke any laws or had any ethics violations?

According to what I believe is a good source, the House rules state: a member “shall conduct himself at all times in manner that shall reflect creditably on the House.” Is lining up to be the butt of jokes everywhere reflecting “credit on the house?” We are in serious times in our country and the Congress finds itself getting all over the media by the Congressman who has smeared the reputation of the Congress.

Should he resign? Yes. And, yes, there have been others who have done things that did not reflect “credibly on the House.” But such never excuses misdeeds by another. I don’t believe that there has been anyone in Congress in recent years who has done such a good job of making himself (herself) the laughingstock of the nation. And the latest news is that there is more to come.

As the old saying goes, “power corrupts;” here is a seven-term Congressman with no doubt power to make some things happen in Congress. It’s time he goes home. The rest of the folks in Washington need come to really understand the one cannot “Twitter,” “Facebook” and “email” and expect it to stay private. These social mediums do not have privacy acts to protect you. Folks, who know how, can snatch  any of this out of the air.

Go home Congressman, that is, if you still have a home to go home to.

Ruth Lee
