Stephanie Herseth (D, South Dakota) was one of the Democrats who voted for the so called marriage protection act. However it seems that while she is willing to blame gays for undermining the institution of marriage, in her own personal life, she is shacking up.
The Capitol Hill publication Roll Call has an item in today's edition
headlined "Sitting in a Tree," regarding Stephanie Herseth's relationship with Rep. Max Sandlin, a Democrat from Texas:
Sorry, guys. The newest, most eligible bachelorette in Congress appears to be off the market.
Rep. Stephanie Herseth (D), who just won the special South Dakota election, had a boyfriend waiting for her on Capitol Hill when she arrived last week.
He's Democratic Rep. Max Sandlin, a four-term Texan.
The couple met during Herseth's failed 2002 election bid against then- Rep. Bill Janklow (R-S.D.), who recently was released from prison for his second-degree manslaughter conviction. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which has its own version of a "big buddy" program, appointed Sandlin to be Herseth's mentor during that campaign.
Maybe the DCCC should have a match-making business on the side?
"Representative Herseth and Representative Sandlin met during the last election cycle. They remained friends after the 2002 election and have had a relationship for approximately a year," her spokesman, Russ Levsen, told HOH.
Sandlin, who is divorced with four children, also worked hard to campaign and raise money for his girlfriend during her winning campaign against GOP state Sen. Larry Diedrich in the June 1 special election.
He said having just arrived in Washington, the new Congresswoman has not found permanent housing yet. For now, he said, she's staying at the Capitol Suites.
But Herseth, 33, and Sandlin, 52, were seen Wednesday morning in front of Sandlin's apartment building near D and First streets Southeast.
Yup, Family Values..... Where's Mike Rogers when you need him? I thought that heterosexual hypocrites were going to be Outed also.
