If national only, Long x2, Breaux, Boggs x2.
If you include state, Edwin, Alario, or possibly a Landrieu.

Huey Long
Russell Long
Gillis Long (ETA: Frankly, this is the "utility Long" pick and could as easily be Speedy or Earl, but I like Gillis here because he was the Chair of the House Democratic Caucus for a few years.)
Edwin Edwards
Hale Boggs
What do I win?

(Well, he was actually after something other than his wife.) Vitter was a Senator who ran for Governor and lost because of infidelity. Livingston was a member of the House of Representatives who withdrew from consideration as Speaker of the House because of infidelity.
