Duvall Resigns after Sex Talk Video

michael-duvall-resigns.jpg It's not surprising but Orange County Assemblyman Michael Duvall (R-Yorba Linda) this afternoon announced his resignation, according to KNX1070 on Twitter. "I am deeply saddened that my inappropriate comments have become a major distraction for my colleagues in the Assembly," he said in a statement. "I have come to the conclusion that it would not be fair to my family, my constituents or to my friends on both sides of the aisle. Therefore, I have decided to resign my office, effective immediately, so that the Assembly can get back to work." Last night, KCAL9 aired a report on a leaked video of him talking about a tryst with at least two women, one of whom that is suspected to be a lobbyist that deals with his committee assignment.

"I am deeply saddened that my inappropriate comments have become a major distraction for my colleagues in the Assembly."

Yet no apology for literally being "in bed" with energy lobbyists. It's because we're "distracted" by him. The Republican party is officially the party of 0 accountability. Good fucking riddance, jagoff.

Thought I might translate:

"I am deeply saddened that my inappropriate comments have become a major distraction for my colleagues in the Assembly."

I really enjoyed pronging the lobbyist and hope, with this speech, to avoid jail time or steep fines. I deeply regret that the microphone was on while I bragged to a fellow assembly-member about my sexual prowess.

Haha, oh I understood exactly what he meant by the statement. It's exactly that which is infuriating.

what about those prostitutes? IMO they should be punished too.

You mean he was doing to a lobbyist what the lobbyists usually do to us constituents?

Talk about the old "strange bedfellows" axiom.

i just finished watching the video from kcal 9. duvall is a creepy old man!

fyi - duvall was also a HUGE supporter for the Yes on 8 campaign. ugh.

Too bad he wasn't caught banging a male lobbyist!

that would have been awesome! dammit! ;-)

The hypocrisy is mind-boggling.

He's a Republican. It's not mind-boggling, it's typical.

What? No investigation into ethical violations? He can resign with his pension intact?

Not enough's been done, I say.
