Howey politics has a message posted by Mark Souder that makes him look like even more of a tool. It’s part political strategy guide, part gossipy high school blow-by-blow about who said what to whom and when, and with just a little dash of “I would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those meddling kids and their dog.”
He talks about who he thinks should win the Republican nomination to replace him (Marlin Stutzman.) He talks about how the story got out. And, he talks about how he was trying to resign without disclosing specifics to minimize political damage, but gosh darn it, someone was leaking specifics to Fox News.
Most importantly, he does not sound contrite. My advice – unsolicited, admittedly – is to let the Third District take care of itself, shut up for a good while, and focus on how you betrayed your family. But that’s just me, and I’m not a stalwart champion of family values, so what do I know?
Even though I know nothing about them, I still feel sorry for Souder’s family. Shut the f up, sir.
Wow– MaryCatherine… I would have expected a nice Catholic girl to have a — let’s say– less potty-mouthed attitude to a relatively calm post.
Pretty sure she was addressing Souder there.
D right, I was, Doug. lol.
I say let him keep moralizing everyone and hand out his wisdom. Maybe another Kelty will happen because they listen to him.
Sorry MC… never miiiind.. LOL
I never understand how these people have not learned the Nixon lesson — tell all right away.. and gracefully get off the stage and shut your mouth.
Souder, like any other political tool,can’t help himself.
