Robert Wexler's residency problems, Part II

This has been fun. Robert Wexler, God bless him, is just such a fat target. As one of my colleagues said, "All people wanted was to hear him say, ' Sorry, I screwed up.'" But, an ego like Wexler's doesn't suffer fools. It has been far more fun watching him squirm around, trying out all manner of hollow rationalizations, before finally bending to the inevitable.
I would be surprised if it cost him his seat; people forget this kind of thing pretty quickly. Meanwhile, some poor would-be speculator who bought a condo in U.S. House District 19 right before the housing bubble burst just managed to find a "tenant." Good for them.

Sorry, I do believe that Mr. Wexler is attempting to justify the unjustifiable and if it was anyone else the consequences would be much more serious. How does he continue to fool the people in his district?

What a bunch of garbage. The guy works full time in DC-- DOING HIS JOB. Instead of praising him for reducing waste (via plane tickets paid for with taxpayers dollars), upholding family values (instead of missing his children's lives by being away most of the time) and being one h3ll of a kick@$$ representative, what do the bass-ackwards south floridians do? We cry because he doesn't actually live here-- well guess what folks, owning a home here, or renting here doesn't mean the other politicians actually live here either.

TO REUBEN-
Dude take a Poli Sci class will ya !!! Wexler gets a stipend [ look it up if you own a Websters !!] for having 2 residences. What did he do with that money ?? Give it to Obama to snort more coke ?? Wexler was proud of himself on the day Charlie Crist signed the measure that would give Floridians a voting paper trail. Wexler made sure that the provision was in there to change the primary yet he seemed surprised when it cause such a controversy. He is out of touch with Florida and WE CAN DO BETTER !!!! Vote no to Wexler, Anderson and BAM BAM and take "Jackie" aka mad Michelle back to Chicago where she belongs. Please do all this to the tune of LUDACRIS's new song about the BLACK HOUSE And HOW THEY CANT BE STOPPED. Middle America look out - they're here and they're angry !!! Bye Bye Bammy !!
