He's not there yet

I keep hoping and praying that State Rep. Rob Briley (D-Nashville) will take his personal struggles private, resign from the legislature and focus all his energies on getting well and caring for his family. This morning's large spread in the City Paper makes it clear he's not there yet--which is tremendously sad, but utterly predictable.

Please, man, for the love of God, family and yourself, resign. Focus on those three things. As a constituent I would not ask you to maintain your job in the legislature. You really want to serve us well? Let someone else take on the task for now. You are not irreplaceable on the hill. The citizens of Tennessee will be fine. YOU are irreplaceable to your family though. Learn to love yourself so you can love them. For now, that's job #1.
