CLARENCE, N.Y. -- Rep. Christopher Lee of western New York abruptly resigned with only a vague explanation of regret after a gossip website reported that the married congressman had sent a shirtless photo of himself flexing his muscles to a woman whose Craigslist ad he answered. A woman provided the Gawker website with e-mails she said were an exchange between her and Lee. Gawker reported Lee, 46, identified himself as a divorced 39-year-old lobbyist.
