House Democrats may demand ethics probe of Souder over affair
In what may amount to an election-year tit-for-tat, House Democratic leaders are privately weighing whether to seek an ethics investigation into how Republicans handled the sex scandal that ended Indiana Rep. Mark Souder's career.

The idea arose Wednesday after Rep. Mike Pence (Ind.), chairman of the House Republican Conference, told reporters that he learned last week of his GOP colleague's extramarital affair -- three days before House Minority Leader John Boehner (Ohio) said he first heard about it. Pence said that he approached Souder on the House floor Thursday after hearing rumors of the romance.

1. WHY may I ask???Vitter is still in the congress in fact
he gave the reply to President Obama's weekly speech. Congress did not start an ethic probe on him and he is still in congress. If you are a republican face it, like Ensign, Stanford, Newt, and all the rest you can say and do anything and nothing will be done.
