BWHAHAHA: Exclusive: Indiana Rep. Mark Souder to RESIGN Amid AFFAIR With Staffer
:rofl::rofl::rofl:


Eight-term Rep. Mark Souder will announce his resignation Tuesday after it came to light that he was conducting an affair with a female staffer who worked in his district office, Fox News has learned.


Eight-term Rep. Mark Souder will announce his resignation Tuesday after it came to light that he was conducting an affair with a female staffer who worked in his district office, Fox News has learned.


Multiple senior House sources indicated that the extent of the affair would have landed Souder before the House Ethics Committee.


Elected as a family values conservative as part of the Republican revolution in 1994, Souder survived a tough re-election challenge in 2008 and survived a contested primary two weeks ago.


Souder was absent from Washington most of last week, missing multiple votes and only voting on Thursday.


Souder's resignation would make him the second lawmaker to step down in less than two months. In March, former Rep. Eric Massa, D-N.Y., resigned amid allegations that he sexually harassed male staffers. Massa's case is now before the House Ethics Committee.

3. But he has values
In 2004, Souder said in an interview that "the closer to the clearness of the Bible, the less ability I should have to compromise. ..... "

9. I'm sure he did
As my dad would say, If you have to wear your values on your sleeve you really don't have any to begin with, simple as that. What boggles is where do they find the people who are gullible enough to believe them anyway?

Report: Family Values GOP Rep To Resign Over Affair (VIDEO)
Justin Elliott | May 18, 2010, 9:23AM



Rep. Mark Souder (R-IN) will resign today after an affair with a female staffer, Fox News is reporting. The network reports:

Multiple senior House sources indicated that the extent of the affair would have landed Souder before the House Ethics Committee.
Elected as a family values conservative as part of the Republican revolution in 1994, Souder survived a tough re-election challenge in 2008 and survived a contested primary two weeks ago.

The eight-term Indiana congressman is, of course, a vocal proponent of traditional family values.

"I believe that Congress must fight to uphold the traditional values that undergird the strength of our nation," he says on his official website. "The family plays a fundamental role in our society. Studies consistently demonstrate that it is best for a child to have a mother and father, and I am committed to preserving traditional marriage, the union of one man and one woman."

Souder adds: "I am committed to fighting the assault on American values."

14. The GOP hypocracy moves up to another level
You'ld think the weight of all this, over and over again, would start to open some eyes on the right. But, no.

18. This is worse than an affair with a female staffer. Take that to the bank
Republicans don't resign over minor things like that. They get a standing ovation from their fellow thugs for this kind of behavior.

This is a cover story.
