Duvall Resigns After Sex Bragging

[one...two...tree 2,762]

That was quick. Mike Duvall has resigned from public office.

In a statement on his campaign website, he wrote:

I am deeply saddened that my inappropriate comments have become a major distraction for my colleagues in the Assembly, who are working hard on the very serious problems facing our state. I have come to the conclusion that it would not be fair to my family, my constituents or to my friends on both sides of the aisle to remain in office. Therefore, I have decided to resign my office, effective immediately, so that the Assembly can get back to work.

Duvall's action came after the married California GOP lawmaker and family values champion was caught on a hot mic bragging graphically to a colleague about his affairs with two women -- one of whom is an energy lobbyist.

Heidi DeJong Barsuglia and Mike Duvall Affair Comes to Light

The news coming out of Orange County today about a steamy affair between Heidi DeJong Barsuglia and Assemblyman Michael Duvall will probably wreck both of their careers, but it's not all bad. There's a bit of education to be gained from all of this, such as the lesson that any would-be politicians should be careful about bragging about extramarital sexual exploits into a live microphone.

Heidi Barsuglia is probably not a fan of live microphones. (cawaste.org)

As broken by the OC Weekly, in July of this year, Michael D. Duvall, Orange County's 72nd Assembly
 District representative, sat in a public hearing and graphically described the lobbyist, Heidi Barsuglia, he was having an affair with. Midway through his his verbal Penthouse letter, the microphone in front of him went live, and the Orange County Cassanova's tale went live to the entire dias.

Unaware, Duvall continued to tell his colleague, "She wears little eye-patch underwear. So, the other day she came here with her underwear, Thursday. And
 so, we had made love Wednesday--a lot! And so she'll, she's all, 'I am going 
up and down the stairs, and you're dripping out of me!' So messy!"

Look at those hypocrite republicans.

This may lead to criminal investigation...

In April--two months after Duvall became vice chairman of the Utilities & 
Commerce committee--privately owned California utility giant Sempra Energy hired Barsuglia as one of its top lobbyists, according to Secretary of State
 records.

he finally did the right thing.

can't say that about someone else......

[Danno 1,228]

Sounds to me like more than just sleazy sex was going on, I'm sure they will get to the bottom of it and I hope fast.

[Mags 112]

Just another middleaged, past his prime, politician. Trying to convince himself (and others) that he's still got it by tastelessly bragging.

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

Justice will be served.

Question is.... Who is the bigger pig, him or her?

[doodlebugg 10]

holy ####### she needs to use some matte powder stat!

[Peikko 1,575]

If she isn't in public office, it really doesn't matter what one thinks of her, it's irrelevant.

OOh, she's a lobbyist, now we know why she was sexually obliging

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I could care less who the guy is shagging, it isn't really anyone's business.

Though if the woman is a lobbyist that does amount to something of a conflict of interest. If you're going to have an extra-marital affair as an elected official, it probably pays to be somewhat ethical in who you decide to go with.

Whatever happened to banging the secretary?

She is hot! I wonder what the other one looks like?

I bet the other one can't sleep at night and she is afraid to answer the phone, afraid to read the newspaper, afraid to check her email.

She has to know that someone is hunting for her identity.

There actually might be more than 2 of them.... oh my, this could get big!

He was actually rated well on family based issues. Now he is saying it was all tall tales and none of the stories were true
