  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

That's not what I said. If the city council wants to fire him, I'm sure that's in their power. But for some random dude they interviewed to feel like this guy needs to be taken down, it's ridiculous.

Why wouldn't a random dude want someone like this out of office? I do too.

If you care more about this dude having sex in his off hours at an inappropriate location than literally any other detail of his performance as an elected official, then you're as ridiculous as that guy, yes. Actually you're probably way more ridiculous because they are at least one of his constituents, and I'm guessing you are not. If that is the case, you need to majorly sort out your priorities. This purity test shit, is nonsense.

Yes, I am unapologetic about demanding politicians nationwide of either party clearing this very low bar of wearing clothes, and not having sex in their office and/or vomiting on themselves without explanation.

Good for you. Lets hope your standards for conduct that actually matters for their job are as high.
