Congressman resigns over shirtless photo


Rep. Christopher Lee of western New York abruptly resigned with only a vague explanation of regret after a gossip website reported that the married congressman had sent a shirtless photo of himself flexing his muscles to a woman he had met on Craigslist.

"I regret the harm that my actions have caused my family, my staff and my constituents," Lee posted in a surprise announcement Wednesday night on his congressional website. "I deeply and sincerely apologize to them all. I have made profound mistakes and I promise to work as hard as I can to seek their forgiveness."
