发帖数: 764 | 1 Another Congress sex scandal: Republican Mark Souder to resign for affair
* May 18th, 2010 6:01 pm ET
Sixteen year Republican representative Mark Souder of Indiana is resigning
merely two weeks after he survived a tough contested primary challenge amid
reports that he was boinking a female staffer on the side.
First thought, gross. No offense, but Mark Souder is not a good looking man.
Some woman had an affair with that? Have to wonder if she was fishing for a
story. Smells like a setup.
Second though, oh, Mark. What were you thinking, dude?
Nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors, and nobody should know. It’s
nobody’s business. So Post-Partisan Examiner neither condemns nor condones
Souder’s behavior: that's God's business.
I will say, though, that politicians who cannot keep in it in their pants
while married violate the trust of all their supporters. American
politicians are expected to behave with the utmost piety when it comes to
the sanctity of marriage. Puritanical? Maybe. But that’s the way it is for
politicians here.
Souder knew that his actions were not just endangering his family – they
endangered his job. He was right to resign, but he should have done so the
minute he decided to engage in an illicit affair.
Especially galling is Souder’s hypocrisy. He deserves special contempt for
selling himself as a ‘family values’ conservative, one who voted for the
impeachment of Bill Clinton over the Lewinsky affair. Like so many in the
right-wing conspiracy, he turned out to be a cheater, a liar, and a
hypocrite besides.
At a time when Republicans should be focused on handing the Democrats their
butts in the upcoming midterm elections, they now have to answer to yet
another hypocritical ethics scandal in their midst.
Democrats may try to capitalize but they are in no position to do so –
having protected the disgraced New York Rep. Eric Massa before finally
forcing him to resign earlier this year for making unwanted, harassing
sexual advances on his staffers.
Both parties are hypocritical and corrupt to the core. Incumbent
Republicrats of all ilks must go in November. Time to sweep the bums out the
door! | l****z
