In the video above, you can watch Indiana’s Rep. Mark Souder yammer about creationism with staffer Lisa Jackson. He crows about his on-screen experience in Expelled: No Intelligence, and his efforts to twist Smithsonian emails into a conspiracy.

Souder recently won his primary election, but just resigned from Congress after revealing that he carried on an affair with Ms. Jackson. Given that the two also made a video about the importance of abstinence, the affair is a little bit embarrassing. It couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

    “This video has been removed by user.” Awww.

    The abstinence video is still available in several copies on youtube….

    hy does everyone describe the lady, on Souder’s staff since 2004, as a “part time staffer?” Does that make the affair “adultery-lite”?
