Apparently you shouldn't believe everything you read on craigslist. A married GOP Congressman from upstate New York was busted for sending topless pictures of himself in response to craigslist posts in the "Women Seeking Men" section. Mr. Lee described himself as "divorced," a "lobbyist", and a "fit fun classy guy." Since the photos and message have surfaced, Christopher Lee (NY - 26) has resigned.
Ironically, Lee might become a lobbyist, joining the ranks of the former lobbied-turned-lobbyists. His wife is also ostensibly shocked by the craigslist trolling behavior. So as far as fibbing about his marital status and profession, perhaps he isn't lying; maybe the message is from the future.
Of course, the big question going forward is whether craigslist will post one of its fraud alert warnings in on its DC personal site: BEWARE OF USERS CLAIMING NOT TO BE CONGRESSMEN.
Update: There is a truly sad dimension to this story. The woman was seeking men who don't "look like toads." Perhaps she should have specified men who actually aren't toads.
