GOP Congressman Mark Souder tearfully quits over affair: 'I am so ashamed'
but wait...
If only the asshole could understand most Americans are "sick of politicians who drag" their god "in front of cameras" as cover for "the problem they caused."
The human cost was evident in Souder’s five-minute speech, interrupted by tears and deep breaths as the congressman fought for control. It was a scene in sharp contrast to other recent revelations of infidelity, including South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford and Nevada Sen. John Ensign.
“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 the poisonous environment of Washington, D.C., any personal failing is seized upon and twisted for political gain. I am resigning rather than put my family through a painful, drawn-out process.”
In what seemed to have become a well-worn road, Souder apologized to his family, his God and his constituents. He said his wife, Diane, offered to stand by his side, but the congressman rejected the offer.

“I’m sick of politicians who drag their spouses in front of cameras rather than confronting the problem they caused,” he said.
“I wish I could have been better,” he said. “My comfort is that God is a gracious and forgiving God.”
