The easy way out !!

Not surprised.

Maybe he realized what a creep, he was, in the final moments.

Hopefully this news, brings peace and closure to his victims.

Do we know if this was a suicide or a sex act gone wrong a la the lead singer of INXS or David Carradine.

Just saw this. NOt a bad day. This scumbag offs himself and Boehner is retiring from Speaker in 2014.
