Something You May Have Missed

Yet another Social Conservative done in by his own inability to keep it in his pants.

What is it about these guys?

Anyway, this is what the Washington Post is reporting:
Rep. Mark Souder, an Indiana Republican known for his support of traditional family values, announced Tuesday that he will leave office, ending a tense week in which a key staffer confronted him with rumors about his alleged extramarital affair with a part-time aide.

Souder, who won Indiana's May 4 Republican primary, acknowledged to his chief of staff on May 12 that he was in a romantic relationship with Tracy Meadows Jackson, who has worked in various capacities in his district office. The allegations surfaced during the primary campaign when anonymous tipsters called Souder's aides and his opponent, according to sources familiar with the events.
More on Souder:
A self-described conservative and a Christian, Souder had focused on three areas since entering Congress: in his words, "how to keep the economy strong; how do we improve our education system; and how do we change the cultural and moral direction of this country."

Souder, 59, a pudgy man with an unruly shelf of gray hair, got high marks in his district for his evangelical beliefs. He received an A-plus rating from the National Rifle Association and a 100 percent rating from the National Right to Life Committee.
So I am guessing that's a no on condom use while breaking the 7th Commandment.

On The Issues has some more interesting stuff on Souder.

But it gets better. Remember Tracy Meadows Jackson? This would be her interviewing the Congressman on the virtues of (you guessed it) abstinence:


What is it with these guys?

If this were a Democrat, his proclivities would be a career enhancer... better yet if the recipient of his sexual escapades were of the same sexual persuasion (see: Frank, Barney; Pervert, MA).
