David Laws, the senior Brit Liberal Democrat resigned as Chief Secretary of the Treasury, after admitting that he stole £40,000 of taxpayer money to rent an apartment from his lover. This revelation came just 18 days after the elections. Unsurprisingly, Brit bureaucrats describe this as a tragedy, not for the taxpayers but for Mr. Laws.

Right. We should feel sorry for a government thief when he steals even more taxpayer money. Poor guy. What’s a gay politician to do?

Sad and sickening.
