The most recent member of the "family values" party succumbing to temptations of the flesh:Tennessee state Rep. Jeremy Durham (R) resigned from his position as majority whip on Sunday hours after a report in The Tennessean revealed that he had sent "inappropriate" text messages to numerous women who worked in the statehouse.
Three women, at least two of whom were in their 20s, said that the 32-year-old married lawmaker had sent them text messages asking for photos and asking to meet up at bars.
One woman said he sent her repeated Facebook and text messages late at night. In one text he told her he missed her. In another late-night message he asked for photos, according to The Tennessean.
Another woman received numerous text messages from Durham, one of which asked her for pictures. (our emphasis)We're quite sure he's just been misunderstood, just like the time he was nearly indicted for prescription fraud and forgery, oh, and also that time he went to bat for a convicted pedophile. Just your everyday Republican.
UPDATE: This was not Durham's first rodeo, it appears; the plot thickens.
