OH, SWELL – AT 9:49 A.M. ET:  Another Republican who couldn't control himself.  From The Politico:

Rep. Mark Souder (R-Ind.), a former congressional staffer who was elected to the House in the Republican revolution of 1994, has told colleagues he will resign Tuesday because of an affair with a female aide, a House GOP official told POLITICO.

Souder has scheduled an announcement about his future for 10 a.m. today at his congressional office in Ft. Wayne.

Souder is married and has three children.

He informed Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) of the affair on Sunday. Boehner told the Indiana Republican he should resign, according to GOP sources.

COMMENT:  Boehner did the right thing.  You embarrass yourself and your party, you've got to go.  Unless you're Bill Clinton.
