Rep. Mark Souder (R-IN) will announce his resignation "after it came to light that he was conducting an affair with a female staffer who worked in his district office," Fox News reports.Oh man. There are some pissed off people in the GOP today who are really wishing Souder has dropped this little bombshell about two weeks and change earlier. Indiana rules allow Souder's nomination to be changed at the state's GOP convention a month from now, so it's not like the GOP will be without a candidate and handing this over to the Dems uncontested, but still it means the GOP has a hard road ahead here.
"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."
Another family values Republican shot down by his wang. Same as it ever was.

You haven't even heard the best part yet. Check for the updates.
How quickly people forget John Edwards.
@Waffles:
Who's forgotten Edwards? We're still glad to be rid of him. And as big of a scumbag as he is, at least he never shot an educational video telling teenagers to keep it in their pants, co-starring his FREAKING ALSO-MARRIED MISTRESS!
ROFL, fail troll is fail.
(Were your ears burning? I was just talking about the fact that Zandar's class of trolls had slunk since you wandered away. Glad you're back!)
Maybe a little
However point still stands
"Another family values Republican shot down by his wang. Same as it ever was. "
Now I'm not defending this guy, however lets not forget garbage exists on both sides.
Oh, that it does. Hey, we agree on something! Hooray, unicorns for everybody, etc. Anyway, missed opportunity on your part. The correct "Dems are hypocrites, too!" reference would have been Rangel cheating on his taxes. He didn't even have the class to resign. That was your killing blow, there. Anyway, too late, hippies win this round!
I forgot about Charlie, haven't paid much attention to politics lately so I'm a tad rusty on the latest happenings, however I'm sure not much has changed. Z is buying into the Dems agenda 100% without question and I'll still seem like I'm a right wing nutjob trying to bring him to center..
So in the whole oil mess has Z found a way to blame Bush/Cheney yet?
Actually the correct answer is "John Edwards, Bill Jefferson, Charlie Rangel, Bill Clinton, Jack Murtha, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Chris Dodd..."
And the list goes on and on. Oh, and Souder's nomination will be rejected and replaced by the state convention next month, since he's resigning. Betting the Republicans keep this seat, unlike Chris Dodd's...
Meh, just in the generic "30 years of deregulation blah blah regulators too close to industry blah blah" sense. Which is accurate, but if you'd been keeping up, you'd know that Z's been pretty hard on the Obama admin about this, and rightly so.
And the whole "buying into the Dem agenda 100%" thing? No, no, Waffles, we're libtards here, not Obots or Donkeyriders. Zandar spends plenty of ink (er, electrons?) blasting the Obama admin and the Donks. Specificity, my man, it's a virtue.
You get passes because you've been on troll vacation, but I expect you to get back on your A-game in a hurry.
Where has he criticized Obama? There have been less than 5 times since I've read this blog. Something about "our skin color" is the same
