Thatcher Longstreth


 
 

Claims to fame: Philadelphia City Councilman; prominent local Republican; adulterer

Moral apex: In 2001, dumped wheelchair-bound wife for another woman… after 60 years of marriage.

Addendum: Longstreth was 80 at the time he announced his intention to marry his 51-year-old bit of fluff.

Suggested Bible reading for Mr. Longstreth:

Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

— Proverbs 5:18-19
