GOP State Lawmaker Resigns After Bragging of Sexual Exploits
------------------------------------------------------------



And in California, a Republican state lawmaker has resigned after
inadvertently broadcasting sexually explicit remarks during an Assembly
hearing. Assemblyman Mike Duvall of Orange County was videotaped making
the comments during an Assembly Appropriations Committee hearing in
July. Duvall didn’t realize he was being recorded when he privately
discussed his sexual exploits with two different women, neither of them
his wife. One of the women is a lobbyist for the major energy firm
Sempra. Until his resignation, Duvall was vice-chair of the Assembly
Utilities Committee, which deals with Sempra’s business.
