Is Vitter ‘morally unfit to govern’?
Is Vitter ‘morally unfit to govern’?
At a press conference this afternoon, Sen. David Vitter broke his silence and spoke for the first time since he acknowledged being on the D.C. madam’s list. A remorseless Vitter attacked his “long time political enemies and those hoping to profit from the situation.” Vitter said he would not answer questions on the issue, claiming that “might sell newspapers but wouldn’t serve my family or my constituents well.” Watch it:
In Oct. 1998, Vitter attacked President Clinton, arguing the proper question was not whether people cared but rather whether Clinton was “morally unfit to govern.”
Some current polls may suggest that people are turned off by the whole Clinton mess and don’t care — because the stock market is good, the Clinton spin machine is even better or other reasons. But that doesn’t answer the question of whether President Clinton should be impeached and removed from office because he is morally unfit to govern. [Times-Picayune, 10/29/98]
This guy is a joke and his wife a bigger joke. Feel sorry for his kids.
July 16th, 2007 at 6:47 pmApparently the standard is: If you bargain for sex at arms-length (no pun), you’re moral.
July 16th, 2007 at 6:48 pmRemember, everyone
It’s Okay If You’re A Republican.
July 16th, 2007 at 6:49 pmAnd this guy is one of the biggest hypocrites on the planet!
July 16th, 2007 at 6:50 pmNo the standard is if your a republican it’s okay. Look frankly I think this whole issue is between him, and his family. I do find it amazingly hyprocritical to attack another for the same thing he was guilty of, but that doesn’t ever stop any politician.
July 16th, 2007 at 6:51 pmhi everybody, this is my wife, the one i cheated on with a hooker, she’s here with me today so that i can hide behind her skirt. now, don’t bother me, i’ve got a lot of important work to do.
(gawd, what a pathetic loser. and this from the family values party.)
July 16th, 2007 at 6:52 pmAnd it’s not just the DC Madam whom he’s utilized the sexual services of….yesterday a New Orleans Madam spoke to the press about his many encounters with her girls. So conceivably, this hypocrite was shouting for Clinton’s removal most loudly and believes that the same standard shouldn’t apply to himself?? Huh??
I guess he’s a bona fide member of the Bush Cabal now - their mantra is “do as I say - don’t do as I do”. This is appalling. Vitter’s moral character is toast and he’s clearly broken the law….I’d say it’s a one, two, and he’s outta there!
July 16th, 2007 at 6:52 pmso instead of confessing, vitter went into attack mode. well, lets hope hookers come forward with pictures and stuff.
July 16th, 2007 at 6:53 pmHe was trysting with his own hookers while condemning Clinton for a BJ?? What’s wrong with this picture? Have we all been beamed up??
July 16th, 2007 at 6:53 pmwhat was his number again?
July 16th, 2007 at 6:54 pmThe reason people are attacking him is because of the blatant hypocrisy, especially in cases like this. They’re supposed to be the party of ‘family values’, and yet you get crap like this from the most ADAMANT of family rights jokers, ones who claim gay marriage will destroy the bonds of marriage, then go out to solicit hookers (something ILLEGAL, mind you).
And his wife is stepford enough to defend him for the same thing she bashed Hillary for?
And like everyone points out, this is the same crap he said Clinton should RESIGN for. And yet his immediate reaction is ‘the media is blowing this up, I’m a GOOD Republican dammit!’
July 16th, 2007 at 6:55 pmThese sickos use their wives as their official ‘tools’. When Mrs. Vitter geta a load of how she appears right now during these press conferences, she’ll be out the door….with his money…and his kids. Otherwise, she’s a total fool. Let’s see….Madam Palfrey mentioned that he’d used her outfit’s services several times….and then the New Orleans Madam said he was a regular customer dating back to 1999. I’d say Vitter needs to immediately go into alcohol rehab, don’t you? He’s obviously got an addiction problem…..yeah…addicted to hookers, that is.
July 16th, 2007 at 6:55 pmMaybe Vitter’s wife was just angry because Clinton didn’t *pay* Monica.
July 16th, 2007 at 6:55 pmHe was trysting with his own hookers while condemning Clinton for a BJ?? What’s wrong with this picture? Have we all been beamed up??
Comment by veritas — July 16, 2007 @ 6:53 pm
Hey, if it was good enuff for newt…
July 16th, 2007 at 6:56 pmThe fact that Vitter is not resigning in shame and is, instead, attempting to attack and spin is not a good sign for him. I’d say that his MO here will infuriate the people of Louisiana to the point where they will pitch him from office themselves, if he won’t leave quietly and discreetly.
July 16th, 2007 at 6:56 pmlike 98% of republican’ts, Vitter is unfit to sell aluminum siding, let alone govern anything.
it’s cute that, like most paranoid righties, he actually thinks he’s significant enough to have “enemies” - what a hoot
someone flip the lever on the toilet and flush this guy, already
July 16th, 2007 at 6:57 pmTypical right-wing hypocrisy.
July 16th, 2007 at 6:57 pmWhat an ass.
July 16th, 2007 at 6:57 pmLook at her. she looked like someone just came back from Mars.
July 16th, 2007 at 6:58 pmCut it off, Mrs. Vitter, cut it off!
July 16th, 2007 at 6:58 pm#
Look at her. she looked like someone just came back from Mars.
Comment by bd — July 16, 2007 @ 6:58 pm
yeah, but look at him. looked like someone just came back from Uranus.
July 16th, 2007 at 6:59 pmonly a republican can spin infidelity into statement about family values.
July 16th, 2007 at 6:59 pmLet’s not forget that Mrs. Vitter had some strong words for Mrs. Clinton as well. She proudly said she wouldn’t stand for that kind of behavior. She said that if her husband behaved like Clinton she would leave and she would take something with her. She proudly compared herself to the woman who cut her husband’s dick off. Talk is so cheap for conservatives. I don’t know why anyone believes anything they say anymore.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:00 pmVitter: What Clinton did was a moral transgression, what I did was a business transaction.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:00 pmSome men pay for prostitutes while others get them for free. But whether Senator David Vitter or Rep. Duke Cunningham paid for pleasure with their cash or their votes, their Republican colleagues appear ready to protect their Johns all the same, at least as long as public opinion will allow.
For the details, see:
July 16th, 2007 at 7:00 pm“Vitter, Cunningham and the GOP Parliament of Whores.”
Isn’t it amazing how the official “aids czar” was using hookers while making others take an oath of celibacy and safe sex? Isn’t it strange that Vitter who was most vociferously attacking Bill Clinton for oral sex (not paid sex) is the one shacking up for 8 years or more…..and most actively doing so while screaming about Bill Clinton. He who doth protest too much….is usually doing the same thing himself.
Imagine this visual: Vitter in full flagrantia with a sleazy hooker who is painting her nails as he bumps and grinds….whilst he is mentally composing his next attack on Bill Clinton for not acknowledging the sanctity of marriage.
Now THIS visual would make for great comedy or satire.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:00 pmboring.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:00 pmNew Christian values and the Church see no problem with Vitter or any GOP official committing sin. It’s those Democrats that are bad. This is the new values American children will be raised on. If your rich or a Republican you can do anything but if your one of those other Americans your a sinner and you must go to jail. Now serving in the military to protect the country is only for those other people. Ralph Reed needs to come out of hiding and start his criminal acts with the church again. NO worries Karl Rove will give the church big bucks and as President Bush said move on and get over it. Everyone has a price and so does the Church. Ask the Pastors diving BMW’s.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:01 pmWhat a hypocrite.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:01 pmLets see what his voters back home do in his next re-election.
#3
“No the standard is if your a republican it’s okay.”
And if you are a Democrat. Let’s cover all the bases here. BTW Vitter should resign in my opinion.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:01 pmForgive the superficial observation, but if I had to make a TV appearance as the wronged wife of a husband cavorts with hookers, I wouldn’t do it in a leopard print outfit. A little too cheesey.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:02 pmboring.
Comment by Mr. President
Yes, you are.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:02 pmWhy do Republicans think their “shit don’t stink”?
Someone who called out Clinton as being unfit to govern has no such qualms about himself; in fact he asks his wife to defend him.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:02 pmWhat they do in their private life is theirs and theirs alone - that is not the issue - the issue is the blatant double standard: the notion that they always have good reasons or excuses for their behavior but they do not tolerate misbehavior - real or imagined - in Democrats.
The look on his wife’s face says it all.

Comment by Ryan — July 16, 2007 @ 6:55 pm
Oh Monica got payed…far more than any hooker could for the same service. Promises made by a powerful man.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:05 pmOh lordy,
I just saw this on Hardball. Actually, Mrs Vitter makes me more sick than her husband. She was so judgmental of Hillary Clinton, and she now has a hell of a nerve to say this was a private issue, and to ask for the media to back off.
Wow.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:05 pm#27 boring.

What’s teh matter mr. p, not enough homosexual action here for you? Were you more turned on by Mark the snark foley, or teddy haggard or maybe newt and tommy delay’s fun and games were more your speed?

July 16th, 2007 at 7:06 pmOh I get it he’s being aggressive so the non-hypocrites will leave him alone. Like a poopie-filled diaper-wearing Pharisee.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:06 pmBTW Vitter should resign in my opinion.
Comment by Tracy
Want to take bets on whether he does or not?
July 16th, 2007 at 7:06 pmI’m betting he doesn’t, heh
From what I understand of New Orleans pols, the idea they would be meeting up with hookers isn’t that unusual. I remember a friend from there telling me that one of the former mayors was caught all the time in a cheap hotel room by the airport. I think they have somewhat different view of infidelity then the rest of America.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:07 pmTh hypocrisy of these two is astounding.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:07 pmthat he hired a hooker while in a marriage … his business. not cool, but his business. that he went after Clinton for the Monica deal-ee-o when he was in the midst of his own infidelities … the public’s business.
don’t know how he maintains any credibility amongst his constituents. don’t know how he helps the GOP and their platform of family values. don’t know how he could stand up there and talk about highway bills after just completely humiliating his wife who is 6 inches to his left. it is very sad for his family and yet another example of the addage that those in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
media camped outside his home and church is despicable and there is no excuse for it’s parasitic nature, but changing the subject does not make his s**t stink any less.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:07 pmCheney’s trysting would have been outed immediately on the ranch when he shot his friend in the face. He was shacking with Pamela Willeford and the official police reports would have indicated that she was at his side when the shooting occurred. Lynne Cheney would have done a Bobbitt job on him if that made headlines. This , along with the alcohol level in his blood, was the reason he refused to allow the local PD in that evening….so his little Swiss Miss (he made her am ambassador to Switzerland, now ain’t that convenient for trysting?) could get out of dodge along with his BAC to drop back down to normal. Who does he think he’s fooling? Everyone knows these details.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:08 pmIf he doesn’t resign, the people of Louisiana will pitch him out. They’re still angry about the government’s response to Katrina and they will show no mercy to this hypocrite.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:09 pmIf their marriage is private why is she there? LOL.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:09 pmProbably trying to keep CPS (Child Protective Services) off their backs considering the diaper stories.
So he called the escort service, but didn’t use the prostitutes… It just makes me think of Principal Skinner, getting caught going to the burlesque house on the Simpsons.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:10 pm“I only went there to get directions on how to get away from there.”
Vitter’s a common hypocritical sleazebag - nothing more. This guy’s political career is over, and deservingly to.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:10 pmWhen you have the republican god on your side, you can do anything and it is kewl!
Glad we got that straightened out!
July 16th, 2007 at 7:10 pmShe was so judgmental of Hillary Clinton, and she now has a hell of a nerve to say this was a private issue, and to ask for the media to back off.
Wow.
Comment by Zooey
It’s always different when the shoe is on the other foot.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:10 pmShe probably won’t apologize to Hillary for her past statements either.
Both of them ( her and husband) are hypocrites.
Hell, every neo-con Republican is morally unfit to govern. not only that but they are mentally unfit to govern. just ask them where are the Iraqi WMD or how great buddies Saddam and Bin Laden were, NOT!
these evil extremists are known more appropriately as the GHP , Grand Hypocrisy Party.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:11 pm#46 The New Orleans Madam has proof that he used the services of her girls many, many times and she’s already spoken to the press about it. Backpeddling is impossible for Vitter now. He’s toast.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:11 pm#25 Furious: Thanks for the Duke Cunningham stuff. There’s been so much more chicanery lately that I’d totally forgotten about that. Did you know that Dukie Cunningham was also involved in Katherine Harris’s campaign back around the time that she helped rig Florida along with Jebbie in 2000? There was another player involved and I can’t recall his name at the moment. I think he’s also under investigation. Katherine Harris SHOULD BE under close scrutiny right now for her role in enabling the stealing of election 2000.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:13 pmI just love questions like this one: “Is a republican morally unfit to govern?”
The only possible answer is: “Of course he/she is.”
You don’t need any of the facts, figures, or slimy details to get that question right. Anyone willing to continue sporting that little (R) after their name is just plain dumb.
The old adage goes: “You can tell a lot about a man’s character by the company he keeps.”
The republican party in America today is the most corrupt organization that has ever existed.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:14 pmBut remember…. this is Louisiana…. home of Huey Long and a whole host of fun-luvin’ boyz. I am sure this will fade away in a week or so. After all, it is so mundane now from those @ssclown repugs.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:14 pmI’m wondering what the people can do (en masse) to bring attention to the fact that we believe Vitter to be morally and ethically unfit to serve in office any longer?
July 16th, 2007 at 7:14 pmBoth of them ( her and husband) are hypocrites.
Comment by Wayne
Absolutely. If Vitter hadn’t put himself on that moral pedestal, I would be defending his right to privacy. As it is, the press can have their feeding frenzy.
He should resign.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:15 pmThe Republican Party. The Law and Order Party. Just as long as the laws don’t apply to them.
-GSD
July 16th, 2007 at 7:17 pmOk, this is funny and all, but let us look at what really matters.
What kind of sex was he paying for?
Dress up, spankings, strap ons, water sports, poopy fun, S&M, leather, rubber, maybe have them dress up like little school girls, or little school boys? Come on let’s get to the bottom !! of this.
Inquiring minds want to know.
Mr. P(rick) you and CT_V1 couldn’t get a hooker to do scum like you.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:17 pmUpside00 - while I would tend to agree with you having been to New Orleans many times myself, I believe that this is a dual edged sword for Vitter. Not only was he vociferously vocal about how unfit Clinton was to serve because of his indiscretion but Vitter’s indiscretion involves breaking the law….solicitation of a prostitute and paying for sex. Add this one to the facts cited by the New Orleans Madam who was shut down in 2003 and pled guilty of charges.
Also, Vitter has been associated with the christian right (albeit the hypocritical christian right (perhaps that combination of words implies hypocrisy at face value anyway?) and the Christian right should come down on him pretty hard right now.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:17 pmBoys will be boys, and remember:
Clinton did it too.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:18 pmZooey,
Have to say, she also looks a bit like Prozac Laura’s younger sister, after a specially large dose before they let her go in front of the camera.
Think the good Mrs. Vitter will be teaching Sunday School classes at their local Southern Baptist church any time soon?
July 16th, 2007 at 7:19 pmWow - this is the most troll-free thread I have seen on TP in quite some time. Kind of hard to spin this into anything other that “Clinton did it, too?” What a sad symbol the Rethuglican party has become.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:19 pm#58 Let’s have some fun with this one - after all, it was his choice to indulge his fantasies. From the looks of him, I’d imagine that he enjoys wearing short skirts, no panties, and getting spanked repeatedly while in the act.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:20 pmrobbez_92107
Clinton… he did it too.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:20 pmand, as if on cue, Mr. Pee obliges……
July 16th, 2007 at 7:21 pmMrs. Vitter does look like she’s taken a megadose of Valium just to get through the interview.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:21 pm# 63 veritas,
I wonder if he looks better in a dress than RUDEE??
HEY!!! Maybe he can be RUDEE’s running “mate” in 08.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:22 pmMr. President your attempt at dramatic brevity is embarrassing. Clinton never judged other people’s marriages while failing to live to his own standards. If you were a married parent you’d realise how important that is to mature Americans.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:22 pmUpside00 - Gotta love it! Shaves his legs and all! Whoopie! Whatever blows your skirt up! And he loves having his blown up high!
July 16th, 2007 at 7:23 pm……and I remember what State Rep. Vitter, Majority Whip Newt and, of course, Mark Foley all had to say about “Clinton doing it, too”…….how quickly you forget, Mr. Pee.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:23 pmGood ticket in 08: Rudee the crossdresser and Vitter the spankee.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:23 pmonly a republican can spin infidelity into statement about family values.
No shit. then again, these are the same folks who tell us trickle down economics are good for us, Saddam actually flew one of the planes on Sept. 11th, Jesus loves everyone but fags, Democrats and the Yankees, that we were forced to invade Iraq, because, umm, giant marshmallows were spotted somewhere in the desert, and that, umm, family values means wearing a diaper.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:23 pmLove the tagline on CNN: “Association” with DC Madame - It was sex, idiots.
Associate you, Vitter.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:23 pmI wonder if Vitter prefers CFMN pumps or slingbacks?
July 16th, 2007 at 7:25 pmDukie provided hookers for all of them as part of their payoff - on lavish trips to foreign countries, on yachts…..wait until all that comes out - phew! It probably involves almost every Republican in office.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:26 pmBoys will be boys, and remember:
Clinton did it too.
Comment by Mr. President
Of course, in your case, boys will be girls too…
Wait a minute, Clinton never did THAT…
July 16th, 2007 at 7:28 pmMmmmm, from the south…I forgot to mention - FARM ANIMALS - maybe he had them dress up a goat as a catholic school girl, and the hooker would spank him, and he would cry and beg for his sins to be cleansed while holding a picture of Ted Haggard and Jeff Gannon.
Come on hookers, what did he do?
July 16th, 2007 at 7:28 pmTracy: “Oh Monica got payed…far more than any hooker could for the same service. Promises made by a powerful man.”
Tracy, you conservatives sure do have selective memories. To review for you, Kenneth Starr and his crew of ambitious headhunters spent over $70 million in taxpayer money trying to prove what you seem to think happened, but couldn’t. Do you remember? It was all part of the “obstruction of justice” portion of their phony evidence for impeachment. They were very thorough; called lots of witnesses; searched lots of data, but no evidence that Monica got any payment whatsoever for her “services.”
It just kills guys like you that Clinton never had to pay for it, doesn’t it. Face it. Monica told her friends in Portland that she was bringing her “presidential kneepads” with her to Washington. She stalked Clinton. That doesn’t, in my opinion, absolve him of guilt in the matter, but it does confirm the general rule that conservatives perverts pay for it and liberals don’t have to.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:28 pmVitter’s performance was disgusting.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:29 pmRepubs don’t even have the decency to resign when they are caught breaking the law and their campaign pledges any more.
Poor, poor Vitter. Why is everyone so mean to him? He’s just a hypocrite who broke the law and lives his life exactly the same way as the people he criticizes and campaigns against.
I won’t be able to post much tonight, and since this is the [perfect topic for it, I’ll leave a little sampling from my next parody. This is the beginning (you can’t see the whole thing yet) of a parody of the song “Christmas”, from Tommy, by The Who. This particular song I call “Christians”.. Enjoy the sample:
“Did you ever see the faces of
The Christians they get so excited.
Waking up their kids to see if
Armageddon’s finally been ignited.
They believe in Christ and say His
Teachings are a part of their philosophy.
Peeking in their door we see their
Lives are being lived in pure hypocrisy.”
I hope to have the rest of “Georgie, A Rock Opera Parody” ready to post by the end of this weekend. (I hope.)
Enjoy, and peace to all.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:32 pmWell Mrs. Vitter, you gonna go all Lorena Bobbit on your husband like you said you would, or are you a hypocrite too?
July 16th, 2007 at 7:39 pmAfter victimizing others by loudly condemning their actions, Vitter pretends to be the victim here because his family is suffering. It’s his long time political enemies doing this to him. Not a word about his hypocrisy, or whether he committed a crime by paying for prostitutes in DC. No apology for the ones he morally condemned for doing less than what he has done.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:44 pmHis hypocrisy angers us more than his acts. But still, why is he allowed back into the Seante after admitting to being with prostitutes which is a crime in DC.
Oh, I forgot, he told his wife he was sorry so that should be the end of that.

No, Tracy, no matter how much you spin it, promises are not payment. Or would trade your paycheck for promises from your company’s president? Wait, maybe you would and you’d feel you got a raise….
…ssheeeshh…
July 16th, 2007 at 7:51 pmThe issue at hand here is, the democrats get it but the republicans either buy it, or if they can’t find that, get it from young boys.
July 16th, 2007 at 7:54 pmPeople need to read/hear this. If the media won’t cover it, then it needs to be posted and talked about. The double-standard that this fool lives by needs to be known.

July 16th, 2007 at 8:01 pmClinton cheated on his wife in a consentual affair, this man BROKE THE LAW by soliciting sex from a prostitute.
That is illegal in Washington DC. They arrest people for that. Well, the “little people”.
Just exactly how did Vitter’s political enemies force him to break the LAW with these prostitutes????
How does Vitter feel about the rest of the laws of this country. Are they all so disposeable??? Can we all break any laws that we see fit to?

These trolls will never admit anything. The condone one another’s behavior, so they should all be treated as the same person.
Maybe you should post your above comment on any thread where they’re getting out of hand — lke we used to out MA’s dead child joke.

Hopefully no one will respond to them. I have personal reasons to be offended by what they did.
I notice you give them no slack too. Good.
Thank you robbez.
July 16th, 2007 at 8:42 pmI wasn’t impressed….they both need to eat a little more crow and apologize to the Clintons publically. At the time of the Clinton fiasco the wife stated unlike Hillary she’d kick her husband to the curb minus his balls. Not so cut and dry and black and white when the shoe is on the other foot. What goes around, comes around. Perhaps going forward she will have more empathy for others facing ‘human’ situations.

Comment by oldtree — July 16, 2007 @ 8:44 pm
I was surprised that Vitter’s voice was so low.
July 16th, 2007 at 8:46 pmI’m tired of looking at the screen to be honest. I started working on this when you were yelling at CV on the other thread.
July 16th, 2007 at 8:47 pmWatch the sheep in Louisiana to fall right into line behind Vitter and pretend that nothing happened. Most of his flock would probably rather die a slow, painful death than acknowledge that they may have made a mistake in voting for him.
Like with Clinton, the overriding issue was never really about sex, but rather about whether the politician in question was perceived as supporting the agenda of the extremely wealthy and and the large multi-national corporations. Nothing else matters, unless a side issue can be used to attack someone believed to be concerned about the wellbeing of those in the bottom 99%, income-wise. As always, it is all about the money.
In most jurisdictions, prostitution (as well as patronizing a prostitute) is considered illegal and can subject both the prostitute and the “john” to arrest. Clinton’s actions may have been immoral, but were not illegal. And a charge of perjury can only hold up if the information has some critical bearing upon the outcome of a legal proceeding. Clearly, Vitter broke the law, Clinton did not.
Their calls to others to allow them to put this sordid affair behind them and proceed as if nothing happened truly ring hollow. Where were their calls for compassion when the Clintons were on the receiving end of similar scrutiny?
July 16th, 2007 at 8:47 pmI thought she said she would whack his willy if he ever did that? Not only didi he do it, but paid $3,000 per hour for it!
July 16th, 2007 at 8:48 pmWas I yelling? What’s wrong with me?
July 16th, 2007 at 8:48 pmShe got payed(SIC) by becomming a celebrity after scandal broke. BTW he gave MANY gifts to Monica that had been subpoenaed in the Paula Jones lawsuit. Give us a break!
Liberals have to pay their wives! LOL!
Comment by Tracy — July 16, 2007 @ 8:05 pm
The BJ scandal cost Monica Lewinsky’s family considerable money in legal bills. How often do you see Monica on TV today? BTW, people apparently don’t get paid for being on Larry King Live. To quote you, “Give us a break!”
July 16th, 2007 at 8:49 pmYour final sentence is totally out-of-order, and you definitely can’t prove such BS, can you, Chickenhawk Twit?
I wouldn’t pay $3,000 an hour for Laura Bush!
July 16th, 2007 at 8:49 pmJenna or not-Jenna maybe.
July 16th, 2007 at 8:51 pm$3,000 per hour is more than Doctors Get Paid! it’s more than Senators get paid!
Maybe she broke it up per minute for him. He paid $2.50.
July 16th, 2007 at 8:51 pmI might pay $3,000 for Babs Bush. If I was drunk.
July 16th, 2007 at 8:52 pmHe paid $2.50.

He had an important vote he needed to get back to the floor for.
Something about “Defense of Marriage”.
July 16th, 2007 at 8:53 pmre: ” Vitter said he would not answer questions on the issue, claiming that “might sell newspapers but wouldn’t serve my family or my constituents well.†”
Well yes his moral violations and marital betrayal is Vitter’s business.
BUT his likely use of condoms when being serviced by prostitutes would be his constituents and all American’s business.
He opposes family planning, condoms, sex education and safe-sex in his public actions. This puts the rest of us at risk of AIDS, VD, hepatitis C, botched abortions, unwanted children, abuse, proverty etc etc.
On this issue, the rubber hits the road, so to speak….and he should be pursued to answer to this hypocrisy.

He got thoroughly busted in DC, so now he and his wife have cobbled up this “old news, long forgiven” codswallop. He just better pray that none of his NOLA hookers has any photos stashed away.
His wife looks like a complete zombie. I’d love to be around the first time she runs into Hillary at a DC party and HRC gives her the frozen eyeball glare she deserves.

And don’t bother to complain of injustice.

Don’t bother to talk to me about justice. Don’t bother to talk to me about decency. Don’t bother to talk to me about America. You have no idea what these things are, punk. Take your case to the Attorney General.
Your very existence is an insult to every Soldier who fought and died for principles you cannot begin to grasp. Your attempt to insult one of those Soldiers here was simply the last straw.
July 16th, 2007 at 9:21 pmdidn’t read all 147+ comments, but here is the real issue— Clinton had a LEGAL consensual relationship.. Albeit cheating on his wife.

July 16th, 2007 at 9:38 pm“Answering questions would not serve my constituents well.”
Official Republican Slogan.
July 16th, 2007 at 9:41 pmWhatever has come before, the truth is these people are hypocritical fascists. Their constituents need to wake up and find some honest legislators. Liars with their pants on fire do not serve our interests. I couldn’t care less about his personal habits, but to tell me and you and everybody else to do one thing when he’s doing another is the real crux of this. We can all do better. He’s got another 4 years unfortunately–a product of the massive election fraud perpetrated on America in the last 6 years. Isn’t Louisiana a Democratic state? How did he get elected exactly? Has anyone looked at his election?
July 16th, 2007 at 9:41 pmNope. I’m not watching it. I’ve already had my bath this evening - don’t want to have to take another.

July 16th, 2007 at 10:04 pmIf nobody minds I’d like to say something on topic. I read a desciption about this scandal. When it’s hot, it’s the humidity. With Vitter it’s the hypocracy not the sex.
July 16th, 2007 at 10:12 pmReaders might want to take in this excerpt about Vitter’s victory in 2004 from USA Today. It would seem the AP has been corrupted for a long time (surprised?). Check out the first phrase (from the 7th paragraph of the article at: http://www.usatoday.com/ news/ politicselections/ vote2004/ 2004-11-02-la-senate_x.htm
Then look at the last paragraph shown here (paragraph 11 of the original article).
from:
“Vitter avoids runoff, first Louisiana Republican to Senate
NEW ORLEANS (AP) 11/2/04
“Turnout set a record. Previous high was in the 2000 election when 1.8 million voters went to the polls. On Tuesday, more than 1.9 million voted.
“Vitter’s victory, and John’s loss, breaks a strong winning tradition for moderate Democrats from Acadiana, who have put together coalitions of blacks and centrist whites to win.
“In addition, John ran a sometimes hesitant campaign, stumbling in debates while Vitter sounded confident. John finished with 29% and Kennedy 15%.
“Under the state’s open primary, a candidate must get more than 50% to avoid a runoff, and Vitter just managed it. “The time for Republicans to win is tonight,†ex-Gov. Buddy Roemer said at Vitter’s victory party, summing up the GOP’s Senate-race strategy.
“Vitter was apparently also helped by bad weather across the state, dampening turnout. “Mother nature cooperated,†said a parish councilman from Vitter’s home turf of suburban New Orleans, Tom Capella, at Vitter’s victory party.”
Funny how a record turnout in a Democratic state where people waited in line for hours could produce a winning Republican, isn’t it?
Who was running the election? How did these people vote–DREs, paper, how? Were all the votes counted? So many questions, so little information.

It does not matter, that much, that Vitter had an extra-marital affair.
What matters is that while he was risking his wife to another women’s diseases, etc. Vitter was simultaneously involving himself in the same illiicit activities which he felt strongly, verbally, and overtly to all America, that Clinton should be impeached for.
I am sick to death of these hypocritical republicans who whine, mea culpa, mea culpa, yet throw stones in order to cost the American public millions of dollars and attempt to bring down the governmental leaders(Clinton). It is appalling. Vitter should be thrown out of office, not because of his indiscreet affair, but because of the egregious, lying, complicit activity for which he felt another should be punished, but not himself. These guys are absolutely insane in my opinion. INSANE. If Vitter is a lawyer he should lose his license based on simple moral turpitude issues.
