http://www.fox9.com/news/fox-9-confronts-rep-franks-before-his-immediate-resignationThen 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 doesnt sound right does it?

This is about how a news crew overheard Trent Franks soliciting $2 Million to start an anti-filibuster PAC while still in office.
