Man Resigns For Doing His Job Passionately

WELLINGTON, NZ — New Zealand’s Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister Andrew Bayly has resigned after the most polite scandal in political history.

The man had the audacity to get "animated" during a discussion with a staffer.

While parliaments around the globe are busy staging brawls that would make a rugby scrum look tame, Bayly’s resignation proves that in New Zealand, the new bar for disgrace is set somewhere between a firm stare and a few passionate words.
