And that his gift accepting antics were over the top for a nigga with his tenure and not a lot of juice.
He'll be aiight tho... he'll be hosting a 4:00 show on MSNBC in a year. They'll make him the conservative Anderson Cooper/Joe Scarborough and he and his life partner will come out in ten years.

i think he was getting write offs and tax breaks in excess of 90,000 miles off his company car that he billed to the gov't. not sure how much that translates to in money. but if you get caught for writing off your car and then resign, its only cause there's more shit about to hit the fan. --------------------------------------- it's true what they say...people are strange, when you're strangers.

he had been alleged to have misused campaign funds for office decoration and expensive travel for himself and some employees and interns, plus some funny biz w/his travel reimbursement for personal vehicles. that kind of drama shouldn't be enough to force a resignation.
