A married, conservative Christian politician with five children who was caught on video kissing a female staffer at his office has offered a contrite apology. GOP Representative Vance McAllister of Louisiana, is allegedly seen on tape passionately kissing a woman believed to be Melissa Anne Hixon Peacock, 33. Surveillance tape from December 23 recorded inside McAllister's office in Monroe, shows him engaged in a stolen clinch with Peacock, who is his district scheduler - and the wife of a childhood friend.

Another politician who could not keep his zipper up. To win his seat he ran as a true "family man". Looks like he is going to go the Vitter and Samford route to keep his job.

Dumbass.

I wish guys like this would say:

“I’m resigning from office effective immediately for personal reasons that are my own fault. That is all. Good bye.”

[wyowolf]

really??? i hope thats sarcasm

He's gone. He'll be forced to resign ASAP..this is far worse than Vitter:

1. He's on his staff...IOW..he's put his girl friend on the payroll.

2. She and her husband gave $10,000+ to his campaign..That smells of a kickback...it is kickback...

This guy is sleazier than the run of the mill political adulterer and that's saying something. He needs to be run out of office on a rail.

I won’t believe his contrition unless I see some real “Jimmy Swaggart” rolling tears and crying going on. :o)

[ken5050]

[tgusa]

Two targets .....

[ken5050]

Remember Wilbur Mills and Fanne Foxe?..

[tgusa]

....complete with tar and feathers.

Are you an idiot or do you just play one on Free Republic?

[from occupied ga]

another idiot. I noticed that on the radio news this morning they mentioned that he was a republican about three times.

[Candor7]

INCOMING! Bunny in the hole!

[from occupied ga]

Maybe he could ast dee revin Jesse Jackass for advice.

[ViLaLuz]

Good that he is contrite and he can be forgiven but that doesn’t take away consequences or forget what has happened.

[DIRTYSECRET]

I’ll pay for the IUD. You won’t be ‘sitting on the sidelines.’

[Carriage Hill]

He had to know there were security cameras there. Ergo, dumbass.
