We’ve been trying to get a handle on what forced Rep. Mark Souder (R-IN) to confess his affair with a staffer and resign. Now we’re hearing that the two seemed to be in the habit of having their trysts in Indiana state parks, which for what it’s worth is maybe a bit groovier than I’d expect from this guy. But that’s another story. In any case, it seems like one of those trysts gone wrong — or maybe just too right — led to the congressman’s downfall.
There’s still another detail of this sordid tale we’re trying to figure out. Souder has implied, albeit cryptically, that he may have faced either some ethics committee or even legal jeopardy stemming from the affair.
