A Vermont Congressman who admitted to being faithful to his wife has resigned as chairman of the Democratic Congressional Association.
Clint Daschound (right) is being replaced by Massachusetts Congressman Robert Kennedy II Snr.
Mr Kennedy, the second of 12 grandsons named Robert from the famed political family, said his predecessor had no choice but to step down in the wake of the revelations:
“It is unacceptable for a Democratic politician to continue to have sex with his middle-aged spouse when he has countless sexual opportunities with so many interns, journalists and other willing young females he would come into contact with in Washington.”
Mr Daschound confessed to his fidelity at a press conference this morning as well as finally revealing his whereabouts for the last several days.
It was assumed he had disappeared to escape the shame that he had spurned other women and continued to have sexual relations with his own wife up till last week.
It emerged that he had fled Washington DC to his home state of Vermont to be with his wife of 31 years.
“I am ashamed to admit I spent the last couple of days crying in the arms of the woman I love,” he said.
Mr Daschound apologised to his secretary Amanda, his PA Barbara and the rest of his female staff whom he had chose not to seduce down the years.
Earlier this week Hayley Daschound appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show where the mother of five revealed how she and her husband had secretly remained attracted to one another since the day they were married:
“We have had sex almost every week, ever since we first met. Often for the pleasure alone, not just to have children like every other political couple,” she told the shocked host.
But she added she was willing to allow him to have extramarital flings, even an ongoing affair if that is what he needed for the sake of his career:
“Clint is a very talented public servant, and if being faithful to me prevents him from running for president in the future, then I welcome other women to him.”
