A Louisiana newspaper claims to have surveillance video showing Rep. Vance McAllister (R-LA), a married freshman member of Congress who ran for office last year as a conservative Christian with the backing of the stars of the "Duck Dynasty" reality show, "passionately embracing and kissing" one of his female staffers.
The video was published online Monday by The Ouachita Citizen, a conservative-leaning newspaper that endorsed McAllister's opponent in last November's special election to fill Louisiana's 5th District seat in the House. The newspaper, which has a paid circulation of 5,200, credited an "anonymous source" with providing the surveillance video of what it described as an "extramarital encounter." According to the Citizen, the video shows McAllister kissing a woman the newspaper identified as Melissa Peacock -- McAllister’s district scheduler -- at his district office in Monroe.
McAllister's office did not respond to requests for comment from TPM. Attempts to reach Peacock were unsuccessful. According to the Citizen, McAllister's chief of staff promised to provide the newspaper with a statement by noon Monday, and then did not.

let Newt explain:
We all do not live in areas with such luxuries. Some of us have to pay extra to be able to go beyond 3 GB of download per month (not very much I might add.).
So yup! Defend the DU post which basically says pictures here and supplies zero pictures.
If one has to explain why going off site gobbles much more bandwidth, there's basically no hope.
Sorry, my friend.
Here is the link to the local paper.

And yes, I am going to defend the post, the OP posted it from TPM a respected site.
Here is another one on the "gossip"
Republican seeks 'forgiveness' after video shows him kissing aide
http://onpolitics.usatoday.com/2014/04/07/vance-mcallister-video-kissing-female-aide-forgiveness/
A recently elected Louisiana congressman is asking for “forgiveness” after a video surfaced Monday purportedly showing him kissing a female aide.
Rep. Vance McAllister, R-La., issued a statement after The Ouchita Citizen posted a video of McAllister apparently “passionately embracing and kissing one of his congressional aides” two days before Christmas. The video was leaked to the news organization from an anonymous source.
“There’s no doubt I’ve fallen short and I’m asking for forgiveness,” McAllister, who is married with five children, said in his statement quoted by The News Star in Monroe, La.”I’m asking for forgiveness from God, my wife, my kids, my staff and my constituents who elected me.”
McAllister was the surprise winner of a special election in November over a Republican who had institutional support from national and local GOP figures. He gained some notoriety in January when he invited Willie Robertson of TV’s Duck Dynasty to be his guest for President Obama’s State of the Union Address. Robertson had cut an ad for McAllister during the campaign.
