Republican Rep. Christopher Lee of New York has resigned following the disclosure he attempted to arrange an extramarital affair online. The news website Gawker obtained emails Lee sent to an unidentified woman through the website Craigslist. One message included a picture of Lee posing shirtless. In its exposé of Lee, Gawker writes that his “support for ’Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ and vote to reject federal abortion funding suggests a certain comfort with publicly scrutinizing others’ sex lives.”
