Another Republican resigns in disgrace

This time it's San Diego Mayor Dick Murphy. Yes, you heard right... After all that time and money spent in lawsuits claiming that the man who got fewer votes deserved the Mayorship, his Honor decided he couldn't stand the heat. Pension scandals, fiscal woes, a suspended credit rating, none of it seemed to matter until Time magazine recognized him as one of the three worst mayors in the U.S. Yes, that includes Alaska and Hawaii, and even Alabama!

All that's left now is the crying. And the special election.
