Goes to show that even good people are not immune to Potomac fever!
So his "retirement" won't actually mean anything until, what, January 2019?
So, Potomac fever must be like tequila. It makes you take your clothes off and be stupid?
Joe should resign. Were he an employee he'd be fired.

Do men get more stupid the older they get?
No, we get different kinds of stupid.
