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.

Vitter is a SENATOR. We need to keep them and go to bat for them. That senator from Nevada? The perfect ‘easing out’ complete with a GOP gov appointing a 2 year successor. House members are a dime-a-dozen.

Of course, the people in his district should fire him, and his wife can forgive him, even though she has every right to divorce him for breaking his marriage vows. Certainly, it shows that he can’t be trusted to keep his word.

It's the local talk radio station, I guess they considered they were showing restraint.

I would imagine it was known for a while but nobody said anything.

Really. Getting caught by a camera in your own office is the height of stupidity.

He might be the last candidate the Robertson family will ever endorse. They will probably forgive him but they will not endorse him.

Oh you have to consider that he is from Louisiana.It is the sultry heat there. Causes things like that to just happen. No problem.

If a pol will lie about his conservatism in his personal life, I’d submit that he’s lying about just about everything else.

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

I wouldn't accept the Swaggart tears, any more than I would accept the Bakker book:

I understand now, somebody [probably a Democrat] set him up. Not saying he did not do it, but there was a plan out to get him and he walked into the trap.

He was just consoling her, that’s all it was....... oops he confessed.

These guys kill me. My family this, my family that. Invoke the name of God, and ask for forgiveness? What a PHONY. God, doesn’t know you!

Wow, for a Christian family man he is shredding the 10 Commandments.

My advice to the Robertsons: It would be a grave mistake to support this man politically in the future.

He needs to do what a Democrat would do - withdraw from public life (for one day).

Who is your “we?”

Do you have another social liberal with no morals in your pocket?

Power at any price is not worth having, and every idiot who persues that is worth disparaging.
