Another Republican Marriage Undone by an Affair
Atrios writes of Rep. Congressman Steve LaTourette (R-OH), whose wife is going public with his request for a divorce, following his revelation to her that he's having an affair with a Washington lobbyist.
The couple have been married 21 years and have four children. Mrs. Latourette says that when he called her a few weeks ago to tell her of the affair, she asked him to go into counseling, He said he'd think about it, but called her back Friday and asked for the divorce.
Why is she going public? She wants him back. She says he was a great husband and father until he went to Washington and that the Washington culture corrupts men in power.
Latourrette, a former prosecutor, serves on the Standards of Official Conduct Committee.
