Sort of logical

Stuff reports:

A US politician said he won’t resign after planting a fake story that he was caught having sex with a male prostitute to deflect attention from a real affair with a fellow lawmaker who is also a home-school mum.

Both lawmakers are Christian conservatives who frequently refer to their faith.

Michigan state Representative Todd Courser, a married father of four, said in an audio recording that by anonymously emailing supporters about the male prostitution allegations, he intended to create a “complete smear campaign” of false claims so that a public revelation about his relationship with state Representative Cindy Gamrat would seem “mild by comparison”.

Sorts of makes sense, except he couldn’t even smear himself properly!
