Is anyone really surprised anymore when any politician known for advocating some form of morality is struck down in a completely ironic fashion with their own lascivious behavior? I know I'm not. I do, however, find some bit of satisfaction when it happens, particularly to the Republican party, you know, the "Family Values" party.The specter of adultery has struck the Grand 'Ole Perverts again, this time through the loose belt of Rep. Mark Souder of Indiana, who has chosen (like many) to resign rather than get dragged in front of an ethics committee. He supported traditional family values and abstinence education, so I'm assuming he didn't use a condom, since they don't work anyway. Here's a rundown of the most recent and hypocritical Repubs to be brought low by their dirty deeds.
George Rekers - Baptist homophobe
Caught in Miami airport returning with gay escort found on Rentboy.com, oops

Ted Haggard - Evangelical homophobe, Bush Jr. adviser
'Came out' that he had affair a with male prostitute, while taking meth!
Mark Sanford - South Carolina Republican, rising star!

Mark Foley - Florida Republican, exploited children crusader

Vito Fossella - New York Republican

Of course there are more, and I haven't picked on the Democrats yet, but at least they don't come out so vehemently against these 'attacks' on morality, then get caught up in them themselves. At least they're just pandering for the most part, and don't really believe what they claim to, you can find find some consolation in that, I suppose, you poor, naive Conservatives.
