又来一个众议员桃色丑闻。
事件本身倒是见怪不怪了，不过讽刺的是，Souder 议员曾经跟小蜜 Tracy Jackson （他的下属）在基督教会电视节目上宣传教育青少年 abstinence only. 这个肥白中年男是印第安那州出来的共和党，按照宣传口号和旗帜来说，应该是最纯洁最 family value 的正人君子了。
In his downfall, Souder appears likely to join classmates Mark Foley (lewd text messages to House pages), Mark Sanford (hiking the proverbial Appalachian Trail with his Argentine mistress) and John Ensign (whose parents paid the family of his ex-mistress $96,000) in the sex-scandal hall of fame. Another of their classmates, Bob Ney, did prison time for his role in the Jack Abramoff scandal.
House Republicans of '94 stand out: No fewer than 15 of the 73 elected in the landslide that year have entertained the nation with flaps that include messy divorces and a suspicious car accident.
看样子在丑闻之后大家都 live happily ever after.Some had a colorful record before they arrived. There was, for example, twice-divorced Bob Barr (Ga.), who at a 1992 charity event reportedly licked whipped cream from the chests of two women.
For others, the trouble began soon after they arrived in Washington in 1995. Reps. Jim Bunn (Ore.), James Longley (Maine) and Jon Christensen (Neb.) went through public divorce proceedings. Rep. Enid Greene (Utah) filed for divorce and abandoned reelection plans when her husband, Joe Waldholtz, disappeared after being accused of embezzlement. Rep. Joe Scarborough (Fla.), now a TV host, was among those to follow her to divorce court.
Rep. Steve LaTourette (Ohio) did his colleagues one better. His wife accused him of having an affair with his chief of staff; the couple divorced in 2004, and he married the staffer, who had become a lobbyist.
别忘了 Larry "wide stance" Craig (R-Id), David "prostitution" Vitter (R-LA). 后者现在还好好地留在国会里捣乱，哦不，制定法律呢。
然后还有twitter，说 "Like Jesus Christ, I deliberately spend time with sinners with the loving goal to try to help them,"
