Eight-term congressman Mark Souder will resign over a romantic affair with a staffer. The Indiana Republican decided to step down rather than deal with an Ethics Committee investigation into his relationship with a woman in his district office. He released a self-pitying, whiny statement that is darkly amusing if you enjoy seeing "family-values" conservatives admit to moral failings.

"In the poisonous environment of Washington, D.C., any personal failing is seized upon, often twisted, for political gain," he said. "I am resigning rather than to put my family through that painful, drawn-out process.

He said his wife, Diane, and children "were more than willing to stand here with me. We are a committed family. But the error is mine, and I should bear the responsibility."


should bear responsibility.. naw don't do that.. blame it on DC .. after 15 years there you can't tell right from wrong.. (no wonder I support term limits)

do these folk actually listen to the comments they make?

Jackson earned $12,541.70 from Souder’s workplace last 12 months. She arrived to function for Souder in December, 2004 as what exactly is referred to as a “special assistant/communications.” She earned $533.33 that 12 months.

the least he could have done is give her a fair wage...
