From Yahoo:
Michigan Republican Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, who launched a short-lived White House bid in 2011, announced Friday that he was resigning from Congress, citing personal family issues.
"After nearly 26 years in elected office, this past nightmarish month and a half have, for the first time, severed the necessary harmony between the needs of my constituency and of my family," McCotter said in a statement. "As this harmony is required to serve, its absence requires I leave."
Yes, He was fun loving... But it seems over the past couple months something happened..
Hope he gets well, and he and his family are OK and can manage the recovery.
(Yes, His views were wrong, but as a person, hope he is OK soon.. )
