2 Idiots of the Week: Missouri Governor, and Rep. Farenthold

It's a 2 for 1 Special on "Idiot of the Week" because there are always more than one!

Here's the scoop on this week's "Winners"

1) EMBATTLED MISSOURI GOV. ERIC GREITENS BRACING FOR IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS
By ABC news: ALEX PEREZ ANDY FIES May 18, 2018
The scandal-plagued saga that has surrounded Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens’ tenure is about to enter a new chapter. On Friday, May 18,  legislators at the state capitol in Jefferson City called to order a special 30-day session to begin impeachment proceedings against the embattled head of the Show-Me State. But expect the impeachment process to be slow.
  A special investigative committee in the house has already released two ruinous reports against Greitens. The first details accusations made by a woman with whom he was having an affair. She said he threatened and mistreated her. The second report focuses on allegations that Greitens wrongfully obtained a charity donor list to fundraise for political purposes.

2) WHY REP. BLAKE FARENTHOLD (R-TEXAS) SO ABRUPTLY RESIGNED "The House Ethics Committee was about to rule against Farenthold in its investigation into whether he sexually harassed members of his staff, used official money for campaign purposes and lied in previous testimony to the committee, according to the office of Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.).  He used $84,000 in taxpayer money to settle a previous sexual harassment lawsuit.  The Texas Republican promised in December that he would pay back that money immediately, but he never did.
