Sole NYC GOP Congressman not seeking re-election

Vito Fossella is leaving politics to spend more time with his families:

Fossella, who is married with three children, was arrested on a DUI charge on May 1 . He was bailed out by his mistress, Laura Fay, whom he has admitted to fathering a daughter with. I think I would have preferred to stay in jail then to return to the warm welcome he must have received that night. . .

After the relationship was revealed, Fossella said he had no immediate plans to resign, but the disclosures were considered by many as a crippling blow to the career of a lawmaker once viewed a potential candidate for mayor of New York City. Those close to the congressman, say he has made his decision to not seek re-election this fall.
