I find this unfortunate. I never cared about what politicians did in their off-time—it’s the job they do I care about, and that job is not their entire lives. He’s done some awesome stuff on the floor of the HoR for his constituents, and I hope it’s not forgotten because of some stupid pictures and the ensuing scandal that really had nothing to do with his job.

Though ironically, he’s come full circle and it is now he who is THE GENTLEMEN [that] IS CORRECT IN SITTING DOWN

It has everything to do with his job and not simply because of the poor example it makes, but because of the lack of self control and judgement it shows, which has to extend to his professional life even though it may not be as obvious there. Would YOU hire him to be responsible for your affairs?

…and he is not a gentleman by sitting down (I presume you mean quitting). I doubt he would have done so had he not been told to, by everyone from the president down.
