Wide Stance Junior
A Wash state legislator came to Spokane for a conference and decided to hook up with a male prostitute for some cross-dressing fun. It's not quite clear what happened next, but it appears that the male prostitute decided to blackmail the legislator for a big extra payment. Oddly, the legislator called in the police, who arrested the prostitute for extortion.
One important difference from Wide-Stance: this legislator immediately did the normal and sane thing. He resigned from his office decisively and instantly after the scandal went public. This doesn't help him any, but it does serve the state well, because a new and non-blackmailable rep can now be appointed or elected. So I'd go a step beyond 'normal and sane'; maybe not quite 'noble' but certainly showing a decent loyalty and respect to his constituents.
Meanwhile, Wide-Stance Craig continues to stay in the Senate as the Anti-Civilization Lawyers Union defends him. Thus verifying beyond all possible doubt that he had been blackmailed by ACLU for a long time, and that he continues to serve ACLU. Thus verifying beyond all doubt that he does NOT serve his state or the country. And the rest of the Senate is equally culpable: by not kicking him out, they verify beyond all doubt that the Senate's sole purpose is to serve Communist extortionists. ¶ 9:05 AM
