Another sad story of DC turning someone to the dark side. I had never heard of this congressman before- how bad was he?

[Hildy]

told him I was trying to get him out of the dark side, all that power and greed and people kissing up to them all time. Now he’s one of them. All they care about is getting reelected. I hate them all.”

She said it all.

[KantianBurke]

he's a lawyer. he's a RINO. And he treats his wife and 4 kids like dirt. doesn't appear that DC corrupted him as he was an a%^ long before.

[Charles Henrickson]

LaTourette's Syndrome.

[doug from upland]

I wonder what he will say to his four kids. Not knowing where he lives in D.C. was amazing to me.

[Consort]

LaTourette: Sounds......French.

[Conservateacher]

Vote his ass out syndrome!!

I've always said I wouldn't vote democrat under any circumstance. I was wrong.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

They all think they're Alan Alda, being wooed by Meryl Streep.

[GeronL]

She didn't even know where he lived in DC???? She should have been with him! or had a spycam or something. She should know you can't trust those federal employee's.

This guy should be toasted by primary voters if they have any sense.

[Hildy]

Good for her, let her keep talking about this, he won't get reelected, his lobbyist girlfriend will have no use for him and nobody in his hometown will give him the time of day. Sounds good to me.

[holyscroller]

Maybe he should do a Jeffords and switch parties, then he'll be reelected handily. I wonder why she wants him back?

[T'wit]

>> She named the woman, whom she said was a lobbyist.

I can just hear it. "Oh, Baby, I'm on my knees to beg you to vote for my lobby's bill... and while I'm here..."

"They all think they're Alan Alda, being wooed by Meryl Streep."

Yeah - they all do. And it is Republican and Democrat alike. It is pathetic. What price hath vanity/glory/money/sex?

[GO65]

2001 rating by the American Conservative Union was a 69, 2nd lowest among Republican members of the House from Ohio (but, he was ahead of Kucinich. :-) )

[GO65]

correction - lifetime is a 69, 2001 was a 72.

[WOSG]

He recently told GOP leaders that he would serve no more than 10 years, but he has announced that he will run for a sixth two-year term in 2004.

Dang! How prophetic! ... Somebody, please run against this man ... maybe you can save his marraige and get a RINO outta there. Either way ,10 years is enough!

[Bella]

She should nail his a$$ big time..go for the gusto..these guys are pukes!

[swheats]

Susan LaTourette, who said she doesn’t know where her husband lives when Congress is in session, blamed the Washington culture for the breakup.

Seems like Washington can't be blamed on this one. What woman doesn't know how to find out where her husband lives? Maybe Ms. Latourette wasn't that concerned about keeping the home fires burning anyway.

[TheAngryClam]

RINO ping.

[Theodore R.]

I too had not heard of this congressman, but he is a poster boy for the concept of term limits, which ,sadly, is forever dead. Maybe some people who are defeated for Congress should count their blessings. It is sometimes said that Washington is a place where "no one expects to find a sincere person."
