Could not keep it in his pants...cheated on his wife with a staffer...
Indiana Republican Rep. Mark Souder announced Tuesday he would resign from Congress, effective Friday, because he had an affair with a staffer.
The eight-term congressman apologized for his actions but provided no details.
"I am so ashamed to have hurt the ones I love," he said at a news conference in Fort Wayne. "I am sorry to have let so many friends down, people who have worked so hard for me."
Souder's decision could damage the Republicans' chances of holding onto the GOP-leaning district in northeastern Indiana. Souder won a bruising Republican primary on May 4 with 48 percent of the vote and was to face the Democratic candidate who four years ago gave him the toughest challenge since he was first elected in 1994.

No McGreevey here, this guy went the Sanford route and cheated with a woman (not Argentinian though).

True. When you have NO moral code, it's hard to ever violate one.

Not only did he betray his family his continual whining about his soul mate is embarrassing as hell to a state that is pretty easy to embarrass.

I recognized your post as a joke.
I am steaming mad at Sanford, not at you, my friend.

And of course Souder was a prominent "Family Values" guy, with being anti-gay marriage a big part of his campaigns
