Trent Franks overheard by news crew soliciting $2 Million to start an anti-filibuster PAC.

http://www.fox9.com/news/fox-9-confronts-rep-franks-before-his-immediate-resignation

Then four hours after Fox 9 talked to Franks, he resigned, effective immediately, saying “Last night his wife was admitted to a hospital due to an on-going ailment.”

As Fox 9 ended the interview with Congressman Franks, it was a development he seemed to cryptically reference.

Lyden: “It just doesn’t sound right does it?

Franks: Well, you’ll probably get additional information.

wanting to have sex with his staffers ? I would have thought there'd be plenty of people willing to do surrogacy through the proper channels for that sort of money.

How such people get elected boggles the mind. Apparently ignorance is bliss.
