Holiday Quick Hitter: Nice To See A Civil Dick Pic From A Politician For Once
Washington (CNN) Texas Republican Rep. Joe Barton on Wednesday apologized for not using "better judgment" while separated from his wife and in consensual relationships with women.
The statement comes in response to an anonymous tweet that included a nude image of Barton. Sarah Dodd of Dodd Communications, who is helping Barton respond to the image, confirmed that the image is of him.
"While separated from my second wife, prior to the divorce, I had sexual relationships with other mature adult women," Barton said in a statement first reported by The Texas Tribune. "Each was consensual. Those relationships have ended. I am sorry I did not use better judgment during those days. I am sorry that I let my constituents down."
We should be grateful for this guys. Here we are, with politicians and powerful Hollywood execs sexually harassing women right and left, and things seem pretty fucking bad. But finally, we see some proof that there are some people out there who will send a good, old fashioned, consensual nudie.
So I'm going to give a shout out to you Joe Barton. For we the public surely didn't want to see your wiener, but whoever you sent that photo to hopefully did. And while it's still unwise to send lewd photos when you're in office, it's nice to see that romance isn't dead.
