We Need to Research the Policy on This

The Nebraska legislature’s Executive Committee — and the governor — have asked state Sen. Bill Kintner, 55, to resign, but Kintner refuses because he is “being obedient to God’s decision.” It’s unclear what “God’s decision” might be, but Kintner has admitted to using his state computer for cybersex with someone other than his wife. Kintner’s wife is the governor’s Policy Research Office director, and has been off work while fighting cancer. Kintner recently alerted state police that the legislative computer system might have been hacked; a “sexually explicit” video was allegedly found on Kintner’s state-issued computer — but it’s hard to blame a hacker for that, since the video features Kintner himself.
