Ohio Democrat Quits Over Topless Pic Incident

(Columbus, Ohio) Democrat State Representative Matthew Barrett has resigned over last week's incident at Norwalk High School where he showed a picture of a topless woman to a U.S. government class of about 20 seniors.
Barrett first said he didn’t know how the image had become intermingled with his graphics presentation. After it appeared on the screen, the state lawmaker immediately shut down the computer and finished the presentation using paper handouts.

A later review by the Norwalk police, with help from the state Highway Patrol, found one of Barrett’s four children had downloaded the image.

Ohio House Democratic leader Joyce Beatty said Barrett acknowledged not being truthful about the matter and she immediately demanded his resignation Thursday.
Beatty said she was "shocked and appalled" by Barrett's mendacity.

It's disturbing that Barrett would lie about the picture. Additionally, word is out that Barrett has nude pictures of two women on his memory stick/flash drive and that he also knows the women in the pictures. They're from his district.

Now, could someone please tell me what kind of politician carries around naked pictures of his constituents?
