Robert Bentley has surrendered to authorities on campaign finance violations and he's expected to resign soon rather than face impeachment. Bible-toting Bentley got smitten with a female staffer and got caught by his wife (now divorced) exchanging texted love notes and, on tape, talking to his sweetie about fondling her breasts. The woman's husband has a well-paid position as an adviser on faith matters.&#160; The crime wasn't the sex. The problem was the governor's effort to cover it up and using campaign and official resources on protecting himself and going after enemies.
