[Iceblink]

Guess what? It has just been announced that Aaron Schock is resigning.

My dream yacht, the Schadenfreude, sails again!

[LJay]

And why is he resigning?

[ShiftyNJ]

Questions about his lavish spending habits... "gifts" from donors, etc.

Unclear why this arm of the law can't seem to make it to the New Jersey State House.

He should move to Illinois.

Maybe Christie would like a nice House seat in a plains state.

[Rareboy]

He should move to Illinois.

I'm not sure he can go home now.

But maybe he and his boyfriend can now be free to live openly as homos.

Wait - he's FROM Illinois? And he's resigning due to misappropriation of funds and "lavish spending habits"? That's like getting kicked out of the Oklahoma government for "trying to pass some out-there legislation".

He should move to NJ where lavish spending is encouraged. Our governor just invested hundreds of millions of state employees' pension funds in an underperforming overseas bank owned by... guess what... people bankrolling his presidential campaign! But here that behavior is rewarded; this is about his sixth scandal this year.

Hey now! Oh, wait... You're right. Carry on. Just another in a long line of embarrassments for us Illinoisans. The state can't pay its bills, 2 recent governors have been in prison, and Obama calls this state home. Lawd help us.
