He's Outta There!

Richard Curtis, the latest closeted Republican involved in a gay sex scandal, announced his resignation on Tuesday.

The politician from Washington was involved in an extortion case.

In police reports, Curtis alleges he was being extorted by a man he had sex with in a Spokane hotel room – while in town on a Republican retreat.

The other man contends Curtis reneged on a promise to pay $1,000 for sex.

In a statement from Curtis he announced his resignation.”Today I submitted my letter of resignation to Governor Gregoire effective immediately. While I believe we’ve done some good and helped a lot of people during the time I served in the Legislature, events that have recently come to light have hurt a lot of people. I sincerely apologize for any pain my actions may have caused,├óΓé¼┬¥ the statement read.”This has been damaging to my family, and I don’t want to subject them to any additional pain that might result from carrying out this matter under the scrutiny that comes with holding public office.”

See ya later, liar!
