Just days after being embroiled in Virginia's first Twitter-gate scandal, the chairman of the commonwealth's Republican Party is giving up his seat in the House of Delegates -- with one catch.

He wants his wife to take his place.

On Tuesday, the Virginia GOP was trying to lure a single Democratic state senator to their side in order to split the Senate into a 20-20 tie between Democrats and Republicans, giving the Republican lieutenant governor the tie-breaking vote and the GOP control of the Senate.

Everything looked a go, but before all the "i"s were dotted and "t"s were crossed, Jeff Frederick twittered the dirty little secret so all could see, including Democrats:

Big news coming out of Senate: Apparently one dem is either switching or leaving the dem caucus. Negotiations for power sharing underway.

After seeing that, Democrats made a full-fledged charge toward said party-switcher and got him to change his mind. Crisis avoided. And shame ensued for Frederick.

The saga continued Friday morning when he sent an e-mail to his constituents saying he wouldn't seek a fourth term.

“For me, it has always been about serving -- not power or position -- and because God has opened up other doors for me, I am glad to be of service elsewhere,“ Frederick wrote.

They always want to 'have it their way' - even when they're in no position to bargain. It's high time they start getting told 'NO!' Let the tantrums and caterwauling begin!

4. Here's the real reason why he's quitting

Seven errors in 49 seconds. Olbermann says eight errors, but I'm not counting his third error because he did correct himself.

9. Maybe they need to stop asking God to open doors and pray for

a copy of The Internet for Dummies instead.

10. Maybe it's time for God to open some trap doors

and send them all to the sizzling netherworld each and every one of these rabid pukes deserves.

3. "...opened up other doors for me..." What did Perez Hilton offer a job Twittering the latest gossip?

I mean really, what are his qualifications other than Twittering and cocking things up doing it?

8. Now you see why Virginia is in the shape it's in ,

Kaine and Boucher are digging Appalachia's grave but as long as the politicians and profit machines are prospering people don't matter. Appalachia has been bombed, blasted and bulldozed right into 3rd world America http://www.wisecountyissues.com It's like Southwest Virginia doesn't even matter unless they are gouging the hell out of it for greed.
