Texas Rethuglican Congressman Blake "Flake" Farentlhold, under fire for multiple sexual harassment allegations, has announced that he won't seek re-election next year. Flake also settled a sexual harassment claim against him by his former communications director using $84,000 of taxpayer money. It was reported this morning that another former female staffer was subjected to vulgar and abusive language by Flake, and had to seek counseling as a result. We first took note of this skeevy wingnut back in December 2014, when these allegations first started to surface. Why it's taken three years to flush this turd is a mystery only if you disregard the moral decay at the heart of the Rethuglican / New Confederate / Misogynist Party.
Admittedly, his departure isn't anywhere near the most important news of the day, but we wanted an excuse to run the picture of him in his rubber ducky PJs.
