So, what does a politician do when he wants to try and survive news he was having an affair? He plots to release a story saying that he had sex with a male escort
http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2015/08/06/recordings-state-rep-asked-aide-hide-relationship/31269315/
"Lansing — State Rep. Todd Courser planned the distribution of a fictional email alleging he had sex with a male prostitute in a bid to conceal his relationship with Rep. Cindy Gamrat, according to audio recordings obtained by The Detroit News.
Courser, a Lapeer Republican, said on one recording the email was designed to create “a complete smear campaign” of exaggerated, false claims about him and Gamrat so a public revelation about the legislators’ relationship would seem “mild by comparison.”
Interviews with former House employees and the recordings show freshman lawmakers Courser and Gamrat, R-Plainwell, used their taxpayer-funded offices to maintain and cover up their relationship. Courser, 43, and Gamrat, 42, rose from the ranks of tea party activism, battled establishment Republicans to win seats in the House last year and formed their own legislative coalition."

Because that's where the majority of truly "weird" happens? Hey, on the plus side, at least he didn't attempt a call on religion "God made us have relations! We didn't want to, honest!"

I think it is the same reason Americans are always doing dumb stuff on the news (hence the phrase "only in America")...
Because it gets reported more.

Because the Republican party includes the extreme conservatives. And to that bunch of people, anything remotely resembling fun (sex, drugs, rock & roll, etc.) is EVIL!!! So Republicans tend to go to greater lengths to hide their vices.
