"Through the Internet, with a few keystrokes and the click of a button, a young person can call up information for a research project, make new friends or discover new hobbies. At the same time, responding to what may seem like a friendly e-mail or an appealing marketing offer can have serious consequences. Private information and images can so easily be transmitted to friends and strangers alike." -- U.S. Rep. Christopher Lee (R-NY), June 2009. Lee resigned 2011-02-09 after messages and a shirtless photo from his attempt to woo a woman online were exposed. Lee is married, and is from the party most often associated with the whole "traditional values" thing, but I do not know whether he leaned hard on that meme himself.

Well, he voted against the DADT repeal, and he's voted to limit women's access to abortion. Which leans towards the 'traditional values', but I don't see any explicitly "defense of marriage" stuff in his record offhand.

I recall seeing reports that he played heavily on the "family values" theme. Based on that, yeah, he showed stunning hypocrisy. Oh, and the duplicity about his personal details in his correspondence is unremarkable even as it is more fuel for the fire.
