Yes, it is yet another story of a family values Republican:
Protesters who marched at the home of Wisconsin state senator Randy Hopper (R-Fond du Lac) were met with something of a surprise on Saturday. Mrs. Hopper appeared at the door and informed them that Sen. Hopper was no longer in residence at this address, but now lives in Madison, WI with his 25-year-old mistress.

Sen. Hopper has worked closely with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker to implement the state's new anti-labor laws and enact policies favorable to the interests of big business.

Blogging Blue also reports that Mrs. Hopper intends to sign the recall petition against her husband. The petition has already been signed by the family's maid.

You can't make this stuff up.
Update I: From the comments, a link to Mr. Zippy 13's diary on this. More details in there. Mr. Zippy 13 says: "I am in fact Zach from Blogging Blue." Please share some mojo and recs there.
Randy Hopper, family man?+*
Update II: From TPM
As the local NBC affiliate in Milwaukee and the CBS affiliate in Madison report, state Sen. Randy Hopper's (R) wife Alysia Hopper has written a letter stating:
"It is correct that my husband, Randy Hopper, started an affair in January 2010 with a then-25-year-old Republican aide. This affair has caused great emotional pain for my children and me. Randy moved out, without attempting marital counseling, as of May 2010 and now lives mostly in Madison."

Nice to see the local TV stations on this story. :-)
Go to TPM and look at his picture. I wonder if he has a 25 year old daughter. How much you want to bet this guy opposed gay marriage becasue of fears about the sanctity of marriage.
