I have sinned against God, my wife and my family

[malaise]

:cry: :cry: :cry:
This 10.00am Indiana time press conference should be fun. :popcorn: :rofl:



<snip>
In a statement, Indiana's 3rd District congressman said he "sinned against God, my wife and my family by having a mutual relationship with a part-time member of my staff."

"I believe it is the best decision for my family, the people of northeast Indiana and our country," he said in the statement.

1. I'm betting there is a LOT MORE that we are not hearing - the GOPers

don't resign for this simple stuff - they run for relection!

[redqueen]

7. The article posted elsewhere

from FOX, I believe, alludes to something going on which would have got him in trouble with the House Ethics Committee.

That's why he's resigning.

27. Is the staffer female

or male? :rofl:

[joeybee12]

2. So, this intern is into turkey necks?

That is one butt-ugly republican...not that I'm being shallow, of course. :evilgrin:

[get the red out]

6. +1

My first thought too, shallow that it was. UGH, that guy hasn't aged well.

[joeybee12]

12. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

...the intern is apparently blind!

BTW, are we sure the intern is female?

[old mark]

10. ...but I am sure he is a wonderful human being with many good qualities...

:eyes:

:rofl:

[joeybee12]

14. But I bet you just can't think of any right now!

23. Please - I try to be generous in my assessment of my fellow human beings...

even stupid fat bastard republicans...

21. I do love the pic

:rofl:

[joeybee12]

54. They didn't get his best side, though...

...outside.

[Divernan]

41. Not to mention the obvious rug - picture him bald!

And curious that he felt compelled to state that the staffer was "part-time".

[joeybee12]

53. I think it's because he hired the staffer from the Braille School...

...tough to have a job full-time when the dog always needs walking.

[MadBadger]

3. Why is God the first thing you sinned against?

Pathetic

[Wednesdays]

4. Now, where have we heard that before?

Wait...don't tell me...I'm starting to get an image...

5. Copy-paste

Even Republicans can do that.

Please? Please? It's so easy, after all... :rofl:

[Omar4Dems]

39. Uh, what? Please explain.

:wtf:

[get the red out]

55. "I've SINNED AGAINST GAWD"

Conservatives don't even have to type that into their speeches when they get caught with their pants down, copy paste "I've sinned, I've sinned, I've sinned". Always the same old line.

[malaise]

24. Hahahahaha

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

13. He gave in. To sin. Because he likes to practice what he preaches.

My sympathy to the staff member....

48. Hahahahahahah - You Tube on abstinence with Tracy Meadows Jackson

Must see Video
http://dailyradar.com/beltwayblips/video/a-congressional-hearing-on-abstinence-education/

In the video, posted on YouTube and on Souder’s House Web site, Jackson tells the congressman “you were one of the only people in the room speaking on abstinence education.” The two went on to discuss a congressional hearing on abstinence education.

Souder spends the first half of the interview praising abstinence programs, discussing distribution of condoms, the concept of “abstinence plus” in trying to keep teen-agers from having sex. Souder goes on to criticize a congressional hearing chaired by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.).

“How is it different having a conservative in control instead of a liberal?” Souder says. “When I was chairman of the committee, we did hearings about how to make abstinence programs better.”

38. I'm a little concerned about the hand gestures

Is he saying, "It's this big"? Because if he is, I don't believe him.



Unless he's talking about the staff member...

[EFerrari]

43. LOL

[malaise]

45. The contradictions are hilarious

He is sooooooooooooooo committed to his family - what a self righteous asshole. You'd think he was raped and didn't start an affair.

44. You said "staff member". Huh huh! Huh huh!

46. Santorum (the man, not the substance) tried to warn us all about the slippery slope

We didn't listen.

Now GOP man-on-aide sex is running rampant!

[undeterred]

47. And the question we're all asking is...

why would anyone have an affair with this guy?

[Hell Hath No Fury]

49. I swear to god --

that was my first thought! :D

Pasty, doughy, pig-eyed -- mmmm, makes me HOT!

52. I really , really really hate it

When they say "I've sinned against God blah blah blah, for behavior that is probably long standing as well as an ingrained pattern. If rw folks were really right about their interpretation about God, God already knew all about it and is disgusted as hell with this motherfucker using His name in vain as political grandstanding. Asshole.

56. I have but one thing to say to this hypocrite:
