This undated photo provided by Gawker shows Rep. Chris Lee, R-N.Y., posing shirtless in front of a mirror. The gossip website Gawker reported Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2011 that Lee, a married two-term Republican lawmaker, had sent the shirtless photo of himself to a woman he met on Craigslist.Lee, a 46-year old Republican and married father, resigned his Buffalo-area seat Thursday after the gossip website Gawker published e-mails he sent to a woman he met on Craigslist, including a photo where he is shirtless and flexing a bicep. Lee released a statement apologizing to his family and constituents for letting them down.
Lee is hardly the first politician to engage in bad behavior. But many lately have come from the Empire State _ from the densely packed, hyper-caffeinated New York City metropolitan area to the rural communities and industrial cities upstate.
"I don't think it's anything in the water, but we do seem to have a disproportionally large amount of scandal," state Democratic Party Chairman Jay Jacobs said. "Maybe it's because we're a high-profile state, we have a dynamic population, and we run at a faster pace than many places."
A year ago, it was Massa's turn in the spotlight.
A freshman Democrat from western New York, the 50-year old Massa abruptly resigned his seat, citing health concerns. News surfaced within days that he was under investigation by a House ethics panel for sexual misconduct, a charge he denied even as he acknowledged participating in tickle fights with some male aides.
"They are saying I groped a male staffer," Massa said in a television interview. "Yeah, I did. Not only did I grope him. I tickled him until he couldn't breathe."
Also last year, Carl Paladino, a Buffalo real estate developer, burst onto the national scene when he won the Republican primary to challenge Democrat Andrew Cuomo. Paladino, whose candidacy was backed widely by tea party activists, acknowledged fathering a child out of wedlock and, with no evidence, publicly accused Cuomo of infidelity during his 15-year marriage to Kerry Kennedy, a daughter of former New York Sen. Robert Kennedy. He later backed away from that charge.
A videotaped dustup where Paladino threatened to "take out" a political reporter became a national cable news staple for days and Paladino had to apologize for racist and pornographic e-mails that he forwarded _ twice.
Cuomo trounced Paladino by 30 percentage points in the November election. But Paladino has remained visible and some supporters are already pressing him to enter the race to succeed Lee. Paladino said Wednesday he is not planning to run.
Mini-skirted Russians urge better snow removaL

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — Too much snow and not enough beaus _ so says a squad of mini-skirted, high-heeled young women wielding snow shovels in Russia's second city.
Seven women dressed for maximum hotness came to the frigid square in front of St. Petersburg's Kazan Cathedral on Thursday to chip away at snow and ice and demand better city snow removal.
They're affiliated with XZ, a local group that uses beautiful women to draw attention to social problems.
Spokeswoman Eva Tornado claimed that tourism experts say foreign visitors avoid St. Petersburg in the winter because of the city's problems in dealing with its snow. She also proclaimed "we'd like more foreign men to come to the city!"

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Can your iPad or iPhone bring you closer to God? A new application for the devices aims to help Roman Catholics who haven't been to the confessional booth in a while keep track of their sins, one Commandment at a time.
The $1.99 "Confession: A Roman Catholic App" can't grant forgiveness _ you still need to receive the sacrament from a real, live priest like always. The app's designers and some believers see it as a way to spur Catholics back into the habit of repenting.
"There's a reason we designed it for these mobile devices: We want you to go to confession," said Patrick Leinen, one of the developers and a co-founder of the company Little iApps.
Over the last several decades, American Catholics have been receiving the penitential sacrament less frequently, and many of them may not know how it's done.
"As somebody who's heard thousands of confessions, there are some people who get so scared coming in that they lose their train of thought and they're not able to remember everything they planned to say," said the Rev. Dan Scheidt, pastor of Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Mishawaka, who advised the developers.
The text-based app takes the user through the Ten Commandments, with a slew of questions attached to each, a process known as an examination of conscience, which penitents undergo before confession.
Questions range from "Have I wished evil upon another person?" to "Have I used any method of contraception or artificial birth control in my marriage?" and users can check a box next to each sin they've committed.
Once that's done, the app lists the user's sins and displays a written act of contrition, a prayer recited by the penitent. From there, it walks the user through the rest of the steps of confession and even advises when to say "amen."
Melanie Williams is a 17-year-old Catholic who helped test the app after co-developer Chip Leinen asked for volunteers at the area high school where he runs a youth group.
Williams said she used to freeze up whenever the time came to confess: "I have a horrible time remembering what I want to say when I'm actually in the confessional."
