86-Year-Old Indian Pol Resigns Amid Sex Scandal

Why should this guy resign? Heck, he should be given an award. He's 86 and getting busy with three women? Bill Clinton must be green with envy.

The 86-year-old governor of a southern Indian state resigned, a day after a television news channel broadcast a tape allegedly showing him in bed with three women.

Pressure mounted on Gov. Narain Dutt Tiwari to quit after the tape allegedly showing him in bed with three women was broadcast Friday, prompting the opposition and women's right groups to hold street protests in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh's state capital, demanding his resignation.

Mr. Tiwari's office denied the allegation, denouncing the tape as fabricated. Mr. Tiwari, a veteran governing Congress party leader at the national level, sent his resignation letter to the Indian president on Saturday, citing health reasons, a state official said on condition of anonymity as he wasn't authorized to talk to reporters.

"The news channel report is fabricated, false and malicious to tarnish the image of the governor," said a statement issued by Aryendra Sharma, an aide to the governor.

I did not have sex with those three women!

The three women were brought to Hyderabad by another woman who was allegedly promised a mining lease by the governor in return for sexual favors, ABN Andhra Jyoti News reported.

The woman said she decided to expose Mr. Tiwari through a sting operation after he didn't keep his promise, the channel said.

A court stopped the channel from broadcasting the tape again later Friday after a petition filed by Mr. Sharma, who argued the video was "likely to demean and denigrate his office."

The video is out there if you know where to look. Due to our high standards and rules against showing anyone older than 60 having sex, we will not be showing it.
