At least he didn't find her on rentboy.com.
"I sinned against God, my wife and my family by having a mutual relationship with a part-time member of my staff," Souder said in a statement Tuesday. "I am so shamed to have hurt those I love."
Souder said his resignation – which will take effect Friday — is "the best decision for my family, the people of northeast Indiana and our country."
"In the poisonous environment of Washington, D.C., any personal failing is seized upon, often twisted, for political gain,” Souder said. “I am resigning rather than put my family through that painful, drawn-out process."

So the new GOP word for "sleazy office affair" is "mutual relationship." And he fails to understand that it is people like him who have created the poisonous atmosphere in Washington D.C. which is requiring him to end his career over a "mutual relationship."
Another Republican bites the dust.
I'm kind of wondering though. Who'd f*ck that guy?

You'd think, with a face like that, that abstinence would be a way of life for him by now.

Souder's website reads:
"I believe that Congress must fight to uphold the traditional values that undergird the strength of our nation. The family plays a fundamental role in our society.

Pal, he means exactly what he said. He's all in favor of all that. He didn't say anything about boinking his female staff being bad, did he?
one man, one woman, one midget, three naked pygmy mole rats, several busty assistants and a 10 gallon tub of lube. this is what you heathen gays have done to marriage.

Nah, Souder looks like a "fumble in the office after everyone's gone home" kind of guy, nothing as exotic as pygmy mole rats.
Such an anemic little scandal, really. At least Rekers' had some excitement, trip to Europe, rentboy, etc. Souder and his staffer doesn't really have the same zip to it. Dreary, even.
