Are we to assume that Senator Vitter no longer has a….?
By now we all know that the first “big name” to be discovered amongst the D.C. Madame’s phone records is freshman Senator David Vitter (R-LA). Congrats to you sir, I didn’t think you had it in you. Now, as should be expected that this point when a conservative Republican gets busted doing something naughty, Senator Vitter is of course a fairly big hypocrite, railing against gay marriage as destroying American families, etc. I guess having an affair with a prostitute is a family value, you know tomato tomato (does a joke involving pronunciation work as well when read? I doubt it)
“I’m a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary. If he does something like that, I’m walking away with one thing, and it’s not alimony, trust me.”
Hmmm. Are we to assume now, based on these words, that Senator Vitter is, how to put this delicately, lacking something? For his sake one would hope not. This all speaks to the rather frequent phenomenon that Andrew Sullivan speaks to here:
Why is one not exactly gob-smacked to find that a leading Republican Christianist was once a client of the DC Madam? I mean, a leading evangelical opponent of gay equality, Ted Haggard, was hiring a male hooker. We had the leading Republican campaigner against hooking up with minors online … hassling adolescent pages with IMs. We had Newt Gingrich committing adultery while impeaching Clinton. Why should we expect anything different from senator David Vitter?
That is a bit odd now isn’t it? Almost like being really conservative makes you a hypocrite. Food for thought.
the d.c. madame is a rollins grad…go tars!
